Sanding is a good idea. Do you typically allow it to sit before reading the measurement? Or do you do push in and pull out really quickly? I personally noticed if I bend the dipstick to have a curve (curved in position facing the car, curved out position facing me) it seems to be a little bit more consistent but still not 100% accurate.
