This ^ alway do this. A mildly abraded dipstick is a happy dipstick.

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.

This as well ^ If you are getting loads of chunks of ferrous metals on a magnetic plug you already are too late to do much.

It all gets stuck in the filter and you can re-use them on the next filter.

Not sure what the benefit would be. If the metal is large enough to make it to the filter then it will get ... well.. filtered. If too small for the filter to grab it isn't causing any issue anyway.
