I tried the first two suggestions and thought (initially) that all was good but upon watching in detail it would seem that it is the same.
I have a L78M05 to hand - is that going to do the job? Otherwise I can get something like this https://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/low-dropout-voltage-regulators/1246447/ very quickly.
