When the rocker arms wear in the area where they contact the top of the valve stem, there is a depression worn that makes it impossible to set the valve exactly with a feeler gauge, as the gauge will bridge the depression, and you will wind up with more actual play in the valvetrain than indicated by the feeler gauge.

Have you noticed if your rocker arm tips are worn like I'm describing?

If you have access to a dial indicator, you can go through the valve adjusting sequence, and verify how much actual valve clearance there is with the dial indicator.
