As far as FT86SF's dip stick, from what I can tell it just has a button that relieves the pressure caused by the O-Ring. I think unscrewing the oil fill cap has the same effect, but I'm no expert. It also seemed a bit overpriced for a dip stick, so I didn't give into it.

you shouldn't be seeing a significant amount of metal on a magnetic drain plug at all. 90% of the FA20 engine is non-ferrous metals so they aren't magnetic.
My recommendation for you here is to get the Fumoto valve, and send a sample to Blackstone for analysis when you do change the oil.
