But, but, but - you are using a "fractional loop iterator" also here.
You are incrementing by a number; 0.05 = 5/100, that's not possible to write
as a binary number with a finite length.

0.05 =
0*10^0+0*10^-1+5*10^-2 =
0*2^0+0*2^-1+0*2^-2+0*2^-3+0*2^-4+1*2^-5+1*2^-6*+0*2^-7+0*2^-8+1*2^-9+1*2^-10+...

Try to use this step length instead:

#declare Step = 0.0498046875; // = 1/2^-5 + 2^-6 + 2^-9 + 2^-10
