Klarus Mi-X5 can't take Dantona NiMH AAAA

Bummer alert: as best I can tell, there is only one brand of NiMH AAAA cell on the market. It is made by Dantona and is available from Radio Shack. I ordered two of these for my Klarus Mi-X5. They arrived today, so I charged one up and... it doesn't fit! I tried removing the outer plastic wrapper, but still no luck. According to my micrometer, there is only a 0.02" difference in diameter between an Energizer alkaline AAAA and the Dantona NiMH AAAA. Unfortunately the Klarus Mi-X5 is bored so close to the Energizer diameter that this is a deal-breaker.

AAAA NiMH?!
That's news to me!

This light sounded interesting to me so I Googled it and found this review which mentions that the light doesn't take NiMH AAAAs.
The review is dated to last year too...

The standard size for alkaline battery is 8mm x 42mm.
Standard size for Dantona AAAA NiMH battery is 8.4mm x 40.6mm has "flat top" which makes it shorter than 42mm pressure or high-top
standard cell. So you gave two issues here with size L & W. The width can be possibly be resolved by cutting off the green covering to fit
into 8mm body of light. The height maybe one can solder a small pointed top or cutting off the top of an alkaline battery-I believe someone makes a conductive glue too. Let me know how it goes and battery performance for each setting of M-L-Hi + strobe. Has anyone found any chargers for AAAA?????
