Taking the 5, 2.5 and 1.25 off the 40 and adding a 10 will bring it up to 42.5 and with probably enough room to add 2.5 more. So still a little room for playing yet..

No if anything all the aches and pains are getting better now I'm working out again. Only problem I have is a pain in my right wrist but seems to be getting better. Only thing it is stopping me doing is standard curls.

Yes, a natural pididion would be a hammer curl a non supinated ggrip for most other exercises would be a a 'neutral grip'
