That's what I had in mind, but change the formatting of the partition to FAT32 or NTFS (you'll have to reformat that partition in the Windows installer later). I'm just not sure if it works because I...

I'm not sure of the physical properties of thermal paste, but my guess is that in an environment of dynamic volume, it is incompressible (density won't change).

How is the User partition formatted?

Here's one method, but I'm not sure if it works or not. That being the case, I offer no warranty on this method.

Not to be a smart ass, but if you're squeezing that much thermal paste to with 10 Nm force, the rest of it's got to go somewhere. In this case, it's the logic board, and (most) thermal paste...
