amazing thank you so much! this works, with a bit of tweaking for jose:

I hit signature verification issues since it's assuming the first key is the one used to sign the token. Wrote an updated version here that you can use as a CLI to test with as well: https://gist.github.com/montasaurus/6376b15f334d93262190a3de50fd0716
