I was planning on doing Dairyland Dare this year, and speed of over 45mph might be anticipated, so wanted it good for that, though I have never had any problems with shimmy or anything over the years.
get a really fine point bunch and go at large spaced punches first. Test. If it still slips on easily do another round of punches in between those punches. 0.4mm isn't much and when you add up the cumulative effect of the punched on both sides you only need 0.2mm. I think you will find this will work. It has worked for me and many others many times.
