A copper penny is fine. Keep in mind that after 1980, pennies were made of zinc, with only a fine wash of copper over it. But probably still okay for this purpose.
I've read that 0000 is soft enough to use, but had I gone that route I would have used copper or bronze. Scraping with an old penny seems to have worked pretty good. I think I'll leave it now I'd most likely make things worse working on it any further.
