Custom router bit

How about this:
- 1 pass through the router with a 3/8" straight cutter
- 2 passes through the table saw with the blade tilted to your angle
(stock turned end-to-end for 2nd pass)
If grove is not centered on the stock, the 2nd saw pass would require
moving the fence. Or better, having an offset piece clamped to the fence.
No bit changes, or set up changes except for the possible saw fence offset.

oh, wait ... your angle is more than 45 degrees (90 - 41-1/2 = 48-1/2)
and your table saw blade might not tilt more than 45 (mine doesn't).
You could get around this by lifting the fence side of the stock, but
that's getting kind of ugly.
Still, overall, it's fast, straight forward, cheap, simple, ...
