You have my sympathy, I have had a similar problem with the leading edge
cores.  The warping on my S1 and S2 manifested itself in a bow at the
leading edge which was very prominent when viewed along the leading edge. 
I managed to take most of the warp out by slitting down the side of the
outer 5 min epoxy 'blobs' whilst leaving the centre blobs intact.  I then
used packing in the slot ends, which effectively opens the slots a little;
when you have the blocks lined up to your satisfaction, put new 5 min epoxy
blobs in and then remove the packing.  This process took the warp out apart
---From the odd inconsistency.  However, while you are doing this, take great
care as the effective height of the blocks changes and you can end up with
a mis-match between the blocks resulting in a rippled leading edge.
