In some cases the pad on the underside of the bucket may contact the valve stem, allowing you to take the measurement with no shims. You can tell by putting a thin smear of grease on the valve stem tip and see if it gets transferred to the bucket when you place it on top. If it doesn't then you can take up the gap by using washers or scrap hard plastic or something (as long as it's rigid and flat). There's a good chance that first measurements are only going to get you in the ballpark (+/- a few thousandths) anyway so this method isn't as hokey as it sounds.
