When I built up my Roadeo I had to cut the threaded part of the steer tube down to fit the Chris King headset and everything worked out fine. I used a clamp that I had that allows me to get a hacksaw blade perpendicular to the tube and remain steady and I just cut away. First, make sure you have a nut all the way down the threads, so when you are done cutting you unscrew the nut and it 'cleans' the threads that you sort of mangled by the cutting. It looks like you should be able to get at least a cm cut and take out one of your spacers. If you have a closer, more detailed shot of the top of your head tube it would help see how much you can get away with.
