The workpiece NEVER "fits" when scribed. That's the whole point of
scribing--to MAKE it fit to the wall.

But tricky to scribe to a line if it won't fit (have to hold at an
angle, I guess; less than ideal).

I'd guess that the walls are relatively straight, just not perfectly
square.

OP: if you go with a cutting approach rather than sanding, know that
the glue in the plywood will do a number on your blade, so be ready to
sharpen or toss the edge used. How about your circ saw with a clamped
straight-edge guide for the left side of the saw (assuming blade on
the right).
