How do you recommend starting on this to avoid excessive wear.

The shadow in the third picture shows the step.
A layer or 2 of tape on the spine until the low spot is gone, then a very thin layer of tape to protect the spine for it's first few honings, maybe? Just a guess, though, as I'm not a honemeister.
