Took the plunge and after loosening the strings and tying them back, applied heat to the 2 dodgy frets with the soldering iron and gently pried them out with a very small sharp screwdriver. No damage.
Placed a very small slither of wood from a toothpick and put it beneath the point where it needed to be raised ever so slightly. Put the frets back in dry (no glue) and gently tapped them back in with a piece of dowel and small hammer with my upper leg as a dolly.
Used the steel ruler as straightedge and voila...looking good, replaced the strings, tightened the allen key adjustment just a wee bit, tuned and no more buzzing anywhere.
Got lucky I suppose, thanks again for the fret removal tip, nice.
