Thanks for all the input!
If I had that wheelset, I would disassemble and totally rebuild it. I'd de-bur all the nipple seats then grease the nipple seats and anti-seize the spoke threads. At your weight and the stiffness of that wheel, a binding spoke prep is totally unnecessary.

Since you can't do that, I'd either live with it or take it to a pro to be rebuilt when I had the time.
