I sometimes use the brass Escutcheon Pins from a hardware store. The shank is often 1/16th inch diameter.

Many hardware stores have them. I also use Brass Finishing nails and pound the head into shape with a ball pien hammer with the nail in a 1/16th" hole in a bar of steel.
I have used a small collet in a dremel many times as a lathe.
I use the supplied arbor that has a screw to hold the washer to make a tiny one.

Small parts Inc on Amazon and also the 'bay may have the #0 washers you want to round and reduce the diameter.
A sample:0 Solid Brass Washer Package of 24 Washers | eBay
Amazon:
Brass Flat Washer, #0 Hole Size, 0.063" ID, 0.125" OD, 0.019" Nominal Thickness, Made in US (Pack of 25) | AmazonSupply.com

Have fun!
