antiskate disc

... ALNIC AMBER cartridge which has a FRITZ GYER S stylus....it is so fine that it immediately cuts its own groove in the vinyl blank disc, making subsequent passes impossible ...

That sounds unlikely. If true, it would render most LPs unplayable. What the heck are you using for VTF?

Here’s what I do, and I don’t claim it’s the only way to end up with an effective amount of AS. (There is NO exact correct setting.) Play a stereo LP with music and set AS to zero. The result should be some audible distortion in the R channel. Now add AS in very tiny increments starting way below the recommended amount, if there even is such a value. As you add AS, listen to the same passage. When the distortion in the R channel is ameliorated, stop.

@cleeds,,, i use recommended tracking force. The vinyl

of the test LP is clearly scratched or etched by the stylus  

The skating force exists because of friction between the stylus contact patches and the groove walls.  Blank LPs don't have grooves, obviously.  So a blank LP is not a really good model for creating a skating force and then correcting it with AS. I know that some gurus do use a blank LP. I strongly disagree with that method for the reason given. Your observation that the stylus scratches the blank vinyl is neither here nor there.
