That seems like a lot of work when you're starting with a number that was
not an actual weighing at the factory.

In the 60's Cessnas were weighed at the factory. I have the original Cessna
documents that show that. However it would still be easier to just weigh
the plane than figure all the changes thru the years. I have my equipment
list on a spreadsheet, very easy to add or subtract something and print a
new one.
