Is the steel you're using tool steel? If it is, have you thought about hardening and tempering it to blue so it would be springy? Nice job! I've got my second year students making a setting lever from scratch in a couple of weeks time. All they'll have is a compass/dividers to map out the screw holes and the indentation where the setting lever peg clicks for winding to hand-setting. Very similar to how you have done it -
I use these https://adjustingvintagewatches.com/tools-for-adding-weight/ I picked mine up from a watch fair years ago. Great for this type of work and for removing poise screws to fit timing washers. Cousins do a set, which aren't cheap, but I find that more than one size is definitely needed https://www.cousinsuk.com/product/balance-screw-holders-set Otherwise, if you have a really small pin vice that'll work.
