If it's only 5mm you should be able to use a chamfer bit on a router. Set it so that the bearing just about catches the inside wood.

Oh, just seen it's inside an 1850.. Right angled rasp it is! Find a small child and get them to do it for a mars bar

Otherwise an angle grinder with an very low grit wheel. (<25) I think you can also get wood wheels.

this way you can get the jigsaw in there...... just take your time....... as you will be doing it free hand with the jigsaw in free air..... i.e. base not touching wood.....
