If $X^*$ is separable and $K$ is a nonempty weak-star closed subset of $B_{X^*}$, then $K'_\varepsilon$ is a proper subset of $K$ for every $\varepsilon>0$. Metrizability produces sequences witnessing membership in the derivative, while a Baire-category argument applied to a universal weakly null sequence yields the strict inclusion.
