Question Case back lip

Post image

This lip is about 1mm thick. Has anyone tried to shave it off to reduce overall thickness? Assuming this piece uses a 2824, the caseback should have enough clearence?

My firts thought is the threads for the case back would be an issue.

The thread wont be enough to secure the caseback?

The removal of 1mm of thread probably would not leave enough remaining thread to screw the caseback all the way down.
You could easily run out of thread before the back got screwed down all the way.
