Hmm... In the picture, it looks like the spring pushes on the side of the pinion. In the Vostok 24xx movements, the spring pushes down on top of the pinion. That is, the Vostok pinion is not visible from above as it is in your picture. Perhaps the Omega spring presses on a round tab fitted on the arbor just under the pinion? EDIT: Had a better look at the following posts, and the answer is yes! -

You are just using the calipers as a datum stick...though adjustable. You could actually using anything to fit the space , that will give you a guide to work to. A thin piece of metal filed to size, a staight piece of old mainspring. A scratch mark on his thumbnail perhaps. Reshaping one of the steady pins , will result in all of the balance components being in a slightly different place. The impulse pin and fork interaction will change. -
Yes thanks for this, it does appear to be the correct stem style mine would require , that’s a positive step forward, thanks -
You can remove the plating using a rotary tool and a bristle wheel. Don't forget the slot. I would do away with the pot and the shavings. Drill a hole in the tip of the soldering iron, and drop the screw in there, head upwards. Then you have direct control over the screw temperature, and it will be evenly distributed. I've done it this way with good results, but the colour change is fairly rapid.
