When I read this I thought of the feeler gauges they sell at auto parts store. You get 20 or 30 different sizes and the incrments can be as small as 0.5/1000th or one half of a thousanth or 0.0005". Joe Wood made some shims for the pins of my off face shotguns out of the feeler gauges. Of course they are steel. But as someone pointed out there may be a galvanic corrosion problem if copper is used. But in my opinion unlikely.

Best,
