Even with worn hinges on most cars you can put the rear of the hood MUCH lower than it will even work. So when they are worn you simply put them at the lower end of those worn pins, make sense?
It is like a saging door, if you raise the door up so it aligns, what you have done is simply put the door up so the worn hinge is "right".
