Nick just a little bit (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pinch

This clue is a triple definition!

'nick' is the first definition.
(both can mean steal)

'just' acts as a link.

'a little' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

'bit' is the third definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for pinch that I've seen before include "amount of salt?" , "Steal (colloq.); one felt by the poor" , "appropriate" , "Economise - steal" , "Pilfer" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
