There's really little point in that, it will work just fine dry the
way Dometic built it.  It's just a thermostat.   What you may need to
do though is bend (or straighten really) the mounting tabs to restore
the spring tension holding the switch against the fin.

Zinc oxide thermal paste (or your fancy stuff) should work fine for
the evaporator fins; just remember that you need an extremely thin
layer or it will make things much worse than having none.  You want
to fill in the points where there's no metal-to-metal contact without
destroying any such contact that exists.
