I'm not sure I understand the issue. Any "sins" in the inner metal would be in the form of resistance or (not even sure about this one - at the microscopic level?) some weird rectification effects, and in either case, the gold plating would short right around that.

Personally, I'd file down the edges of the gold plated connectors to fit and call it a day.

Let me know if I'm missing something, but I don't think electrons care (Ohm's law and all that).
