I've never had any difficulty using a wide bladed screwdriver. Turn the bucket round until the gap is accessible, and use thin-nosed pliers to lift the shim out.
If you haven't got a micrometer you can measure the DIFFERENCE between sample shims using a nut and bolt held in a vice. Screw the bolt in to just grip the thicker shim, then replace with the thinner and measure the difference. You don't need to know the absolute values, just how much wider, or thinner, any sample shim is compared with the one previous.
