Have you tried the Hacklinger magnetic thickness gauge? Spendy, but lets you take more measurements without drilling:

SO I decided to diaphramize this tubby little beast to seek improvement. I
drilled small access holes (1.5mm) at the perimeter thru the board in the
curved section under the plate. The nose bolt holes also serve this purpose.
This allows for the wire end of a caliper to protrude thru the holes & the
taking of initial measurements & also to track progess.
