Don't cut anything. In this exact same situation, I use a pair of medium
pulley-wheels, mated together with half-pins through the six outer holes (3
in one direction, 3 in the other). There is very little grip area, but
because you are right at the motor, it is the lowest torque in any
drivetrain. The motor axle and the joining axle meet in the center, so
there is very little space lost.
