Doesn't this...violate the laws of geometry or something?

So I have a Taz 6 and sometimes have issues with cleaning the outside of the nozzle so the auto leveling can work. I print a lot of Alloy 910 (nylon) and the stuff gets cooked on there hard enough that the built-in cleaning pad isn't effective.

I've been using green scratch pads based on advice I saw on a different forum, but this has gradually rounded the outside of the brass nozzle (I know, I feel like a moron for blindly following that advice), which has resulted in plastic curling around and sticking to it more easily. My toolhead finally gave up the ghost last night. This morning I woke up to it encased in a giant blob of nylon. Oh well... I needed an excuse to order the
