I'd go ahead with the Super Grip and crank down on the bolt a little more. The worse that happens is you snap the bolt and need a new one but that's not likely. If this doesn't work then you just got unlucky with the diameter on the post, I've run into this on a couple frames with it. On Thurs

The way I read it - a completely wild guess - is the supply has been terrible for years and most of it has gotten too pricey to try to sell. Riv has been slowly replacing everything welded with cheaper/more plentiful options, I imagine they're going to keep the forged stems and that's about it.

Nice work, Jake! My vague recollection is Nexave used a 7-speed shifter/freewheel, I'd be surprised if the pull-ratio is different for your 9-speed bar-end. My self-taught and definitely wrong way to set the indexing is get the pulleys (in index) directly under a middle cog and start shifting.
