There are several issues I've encountered with direct to body pickup mounting. The route is rarely the correct depth, if there is a neck angle the route may not match it, and the size of the wood screw needed.
I have taken to solving the screw issue by using an M2 threaded insert pressed into the body and then capillary glued in place with thin superglue. An M2 countersink machine screw seems small enough to pass through the pick mounting holes with out the need to drill them out.
The file attached is an openSCAD script to allow you to generate a shim of customisable height and size, it also allows you adjust the angle of the top face to match the neck back angle (this is why countersink screws are used).
