actually, joking aside, the "reverse tooth file" is close to an accepted technique to raise the surface: knurling. I've never tried it on a stem, but have used it (as have many bike mechanics) on fork crowns. It might not be possible to raise the material by a full .2mm, tho that seems like it's within the ballpark, so... worth a shot.
