For an axis in the range [0-1] use something like this:

 <axis n="0">
  <desc>Heading Bug</desc>
  <binding>
   <command>property-scale</command>
   <property>autopilot/settings/heading-bug-deg</property>
   <dead-band type="double">0.0</dead-band>
   <offset type="double">0.0</offset>
   <factor type="double">360.0</factor>
  </binding>
 </axis> 

For an axis in the range [-1,1] use this:
 <axis n="0">
  <desc>Heading Bug</desc>
  <binding>
   <command>property-scale</command>
   <property>autopilot/settings/heading-bug-deg</property>
   <dead-band type="double">0.0</dead-band>
   <offset type="double">1.0</offset>
   <factor type="double">180.0</factor>
  </binding>
 </axis> 

Even a 10 bit pot axis will give better than 1/2 degree selection.
Jitter might be a problem.
