If you want to shim with class, head over to ACE and get a package of brass shimstock. The package has various thicknesses starting with thinnest to thickest. Start with thinnest :^) The neat thing about it is that you can wrap the post (maybe half way or a bit more), slide it in and clamp it down with excess sticking out. Then it is super easy to trim it with a delicately used Exacto or utility knife. Really a piece of cake once you get the stuff.
