If the only problem with powdered caffeine is getting the dose right, couldn't it be mixed with something inert so the dosage isn't so finicky?

That, right there, is pretty much no-doze.

Yes, usually lactose* in the practice of pharmacy. In theory, I know how to do powder dilutions sufficient to measure immeasurably small quantities of a powder for accurate dosing. In practice, I have never had reason to do so since that one lab during pharmacy school and no one actually assayed the results of our labwork so some significant portion of the class likely did it wrong anyways.

*Not a single person in pharmacy school was able to sufficiently answer my questions about whether someone who was lactose intolerant would have issues with medications formulated with lactose as an inactive ingredient. And I bothered several faculty members with this question.
