Thomas - I've done what you propose on a Yamaha C3 on several bass pins that were very loose. I removed the pin, swabbed the hole, coated the pin and then replaced. Nice and tight and not jumpy at all. Very pleased.
Also, as Ed M. suggested, I have used sandpaper shims extensively in the past with very good results. I think I usually go with 120 grit or so.

Subject: Steinway D pin replacement
Replacing 2/0 tuning pin in Steinway D, juiced up with CA and still loose. If 3/0 replacement isn't tight enough, should I unscrew, swab hole with CA , allow few minutes to dry and screw back in?
I'm concerned about possible jumpy pin. What you think?
