I did not adjust my meters, one of them sticks anyways at just under the 1W marker.
Would love to know if you try it, though!
I tried it, and it was pretty painless. The right meter needed a bit of an adjust. Both of my meters stick just past 1W, and it looks as if some grease or perhaps glue melted on the coil preventing smooth rotation. I'm not sure it's even worth it to try surgery that delicate.
