i have heard these "glitches" basically from everybody, including all the maestros (even on some pro. CDs from Paco if i remember correctly, there are some of these not perfectly played notes, not to speak of concerts, where there is lot of these "dirty" small parts).

nothing to worry about imo, if you don't have these glitches or dirty notes every 2 seconds in your recording and just one, two or 3 of them in the whole piece.

no need for the absolute perfection, even in a recording for a CD, imo.

but of course you could try to do other takes and if you are lucky, there would be absolutely no glitch.

i don't think that there is a special exersise to eliminate such things.

i would say if you practice and play your piece more often and again and again, then you reduce the chance for such unclean parts, but not even the top pros. can guaranty that they would never play an unclean note or something.

relax gj, what you want is really not necessary and not always possible

It seems that practicing at a slower tempo reinforces a more precise performance, yet I am not sure it is the answer to this problem. As you write, maybe there is no answer to it.
