Buy several sizes of shim stock (brass or stainless) and cut them out with scissors or shears or punch.

Brass shim you can drill with a good sharp drill bit, then cut the outside diameter with a scissors.   I just did 2 a few days ago.    A dull drill bit causes a burr and it is difficult to get nice and straight edge from that.
