The tolerance on the machined end of the ballscrew should be between -0.008 and -0.015mm.
This is a tight tolerance to achieve on a lathe and would normally be ground.
if it is too tight, i suggest using the method Jazz mentioned, or putting it on the lathe and use a fine emery cloth to take it down slightly.

I'll post the measurements later and see if that helps explain the situation. Hopefully a cleanup and emery will work however :)
