I have long lamented that FFMPEG doesn't make this both easier and

greater resolution, if necessary recreating the start and end

If you get rid of the "-codec copy" you can have any precision you'd
like.
But the entire video will be re-encoded, which is undesirable because,
as the codecs use lossy compression, there will be further degradation
of the entire video clip just gain some precision at each end.
Is it possible to re-encode only the beginning and the end, and use
-codec copy for the central part?
