Not an absolute expert here but I did sleep at a Holiday Inn Express last week...

Instead of trying to take all the necessary measurements and then cutting the barrel and simply re-threading a small portion of the shank to make it work...I'd recommend cutting off an inch of the chamber end and then having the entire (most of it) chamber re-cut/reamed to final spec...this will give you the option of setting the bullets contact with the throat AND eliminate the portion of the old barrels throat that may have some past erosion...yes it is doable...would the end result be cost effective to you simply buying a good used or new barrel in 30-06? And having a a spare barrel in .308 that uses the same bolt face? Up to you...
