What's the best way to do the corner bead for the shower surround in the attached picture?

I was initially going to use the Trim-Tex shower bead, but it's about 2 1/4" wide, so it's too wide for the corner. If I put the corner bead on there, both will overlap. I can't add a 2x4 to make it wider because the door is there (in fact, the door molding is only about half an inch wide, too, since the space is so tiny).

I could build it up with Durabond, but I wanted to use the Trim-Tex shower bead because it gives a better look.

Apply the sheetrock to the blank wall and let it extend 1/2" past the edge of the shower. You can, then, rip a piece of sheetrock the width needed to fill the gap and glue it in place. Once dried, you can apply a corner bead and finish the sheetrock.
