If you were to use a thin piece of copper (.030") about the same size as the die in the middle of the block and cpu (AS3 on both sides) , the increase in temp should be a bit more than the first T.I.M. joint (due to the added resistance of the copper shim).

That's not a bad idea.
Knowing the nature of the copper, and it's thermal properties, we'd then have 2 TIM joints. But then, how do you eliminate the TIM joint that you just added? and Once you've taken it out, what are you really left with?
