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. -
This has to be the answer (nickel-plated). Nothing else makes sense. I'll try to find a more appropriate container. My next thought was to have a heavier insulated brass pot. That will take some heating, but then it should be very stable and hopefully will stop the heat loss. -
The calipers are meant to give you some confidence if your experience doing this is limited. It can help you by giving a visual feedback/result. I kinda doubt if Nev is using calipers himself đ -

You don't need to measure anything. All You need is to adjust the caliper for the 'thickness' when the shim is placed and fix the caliper not to move. Then remove the shim and adjust the bridge without shim as to be with the same 'thickness', and not to care what the caliper reads at all. -
