The notion that the level of a spell's caster factors into its dispel difficulty is highly dubious, mostly because there's no evidence this information was persisted on the target. Nor was the level of the spell itself likely involved because many spells don't even have one.

Clickies however should be considered to be a level 1 caster or spell always. So they should get the minimum number of counters and get removed regardless of the dispel roll..
If this were the case, there wouldn't be examples of items with click effects whose magnitudes vary with the level of the user.

The issue with that is if you either click the junk buff while dispel is being cast or less than 6 secs before being cast then EQ doesn't recognize the buff being up and will dispel the first buff that had been on longer than 6 secs.
If the game were resolving actions based on state that was up to 6 seconds old, there would likely be other examples of this absurdity, but none exist.
