For the nut slots get some abrasive cord in appropriate diameters for the slots you'll be working on.

You want to be really gentle and go slow as you're removing material and don't want to go too far but it's really useful for polishing/smoothing out those slots so strings don't bind for better overall tuning stability.

I was probably one of the people encouraging you to do this in the first place - everyone should know how to take a screwdriver to their electric guitar and move the setup points around. As long as you pay attention to what you're doing there's very little risk of damaging anything.

Assuming the burr is on the hole through the tuner peg, you’ll want abrasive cord to deburr it.

If the string is breaking at the tuner, the string retainer probably doesn’t have anything to do with it. For reference, the string retainer should be set just low enough that the strings are in contact with the nut surface over the entire nut. If it’s set too high and the strings rise above the nut on the headstock side, clamping the nut down will cause the strings to go sharp.
