Lock washers and copper tape

I've covered my pickguard with copper tape, and now installing my CTS pots. Usually I would use the star (lock) washer  between the pot and pickguard to help keep the pot from twisting around if it gets a little loose, but not sure if this would trash the copper tape too much. And/or not make a solid ground connection with the tape, since it might just puncture through. The tape seems pretty thin. Any thoughts?
 
The washer certainly may punch through the tape.  But even if it does it will still make good contact and won't change the overall shielding behaviour.
