That wouldn't work all the time. Imagine that you have 2 parts at the
exact same location, if I allow a small margin the program would think
that they are not touching each other.

That's the only solution I found so far, couldn't think of anything
else.

That's a good question, I forgot we're not using real circles so I'll
need to find a solution for that too (besides the obvious "edit all
parts and resize the studs"). I was thinking about doing a primitive
substitution more a less like the one you do in L3P, I'm trying to write
a part editor and one of the ideas I had was to allow circular
primitives, but I don't have enough time for all of my ideas...
