As before in this thread, some motherboards will let you delete
the Microsoft keys from the BIOS defaults and install your own.
With those boards you do not need Microsoft, or any shims
signed by Microsoft, or anyone else but you.

See the key management parts of the UEFI SECURE BOOT spec...
https://uefi.org/

If your mobo maker does not have full key management options
in their latest BIOS, ticket and bug them until they do.
