Bikes: too many bikes from 1967 10s (5x2)Frejus to a Sumitomo Ti/Chorus aluminum 10s (10x2), plus one non-susp mtn bike I use as my commuter

Push the stem to the bottom. If the wider top section bottoms out on the steerer you're good to go.

OTOH- if it bottoms against the tapered zone at the base of the steerer, come back up 1/16" and tighten. You don't even need 1/16", probably less than 1/2 that, so there's plenty of margin to play with.
