Yep,
if it is the whole nut then rip it out!
Clean away any glue residue from the nut slot with a small file.
The easiest way to lower the nut is to glue a piece of 80 grit sand paper to a thick piece of glass or a chunk of steel.
Then you just rub the base of the nut on this, again just a few strokes at a time and keep checking the bridge height set up and intonation as this will change.
DB trick number 873, an American Half Dollar coin is just about the right thickness to use as an under string height gauge at the nut end. (Place it on the finger board) 8-)
