Take a look at the links and see if it gives you an idea of what to
do. If you have a vice you could trim the female part of the brass
fitting. Your local hardware, plumbing supply or big box store may
have the same items.

No luck finding anything like this at Lowes. I don't have time to waste
running all over town trying to find one, so I just ordered the one from
Amazon. I also ordered a couple of different spout trim rings in case I end
up with a gap that needs filled.

The "Dresser" compression fitting I had thought of is HUGE. No way that was
going to fit inside the tub spout.

I also looked at several different spouts and all had exactly the same
offset as the spout I already have. So I might as well make the one I have
work.

I was thinking that you can also use a piece of 1/2" thick plexiglas to make a trim ring or square. I used to have all kinds of sources of custom made parts but all the crotchety old guys I dealt with to get that sort of thing have passed away and I can no longer work. It's frustrating. I'd go completely bonkers without The Internet to amuse myself. ヽ(ヅ)ノ
