In Automator create a new "Service". Select run AppleScript. Paste that code in. Set the input to "No input". Save it as "Force Paste".
Now in the System prefs > Keyboard > Shortcuts > Services assign a keyboard shortcut to the "Force Paste" service.

Now you can override applications that don't let you paste things into them.
