I had the same problem. If it really is just 0.1mm then I'd sand it - I doubt the manufacturing tolerances are that high anyway. Extruded aluminium tends to have poor notch sensitivity (i.e. if an alu bar has a notch, scratch/gouge or sudden change in thickness, it can be particularly weak compared to steel) so I would sand it by hand to get a smooth gradient.
