I'm currently remodeling my master bath and I'm going to install a alcove shower pan. Problem is, the pan is 60" and the space I have is 59.25". Wondering if anyone has any ideas on how I can make this work?

You might could notch the end studs .5” on each end where the pan flange hits the studs.
If you do this make sure the finished wall has enough room to sit without hanging over into the shower base. There’s a flat ledge where the finished wall rests.

yep. You could do a custom door or shop around for one that fits a reduced opening, if ones made.
Some people like shower doors, personally I find 99 out of 100 nasty traps. It’s just almost impossible to keep it all clean. I also do not like how they close up 1/2 the shower threshold at any given time.
But I realize they’re a desired item to some.
You could rebuild one wall with ripped down studs. Just don’t do the faucet wall or if you do make sure the wall is deep enough to accommodate your shower valve

A bypass shower door will adapt to that opening.
Spot on. When I had my master bath remodeled, I didn't add the shower door. The old one was disgusting, esp. in the ridges that couldn't be reached by a normal scrubber. I have a nice shower curtain, and it works well for me. I plan to stay in my home forever so the next occupant can rip it all out and put in a shower door.
