Can you recommend how to go about this? It's the first i've heard of this strategy, and interviews are a big fear of mine. I would have assumed most of these "pay for feedback" things to be scams in one way or another. Thoughts?

I have a side-business providing mock tech interviews with unlimited time for feedback. Contact me if you are interested (including "why is this random guy on HN qualified to provide this kind of service")
How can I go about contacting you if I were interested in your service?
My email is in my profile now.
For feedback, I would suggest people like a mentor, trusted friend who is a good communicator, or a paid professional resource.

Full disclosure: I provide paid professional career mentorship and coaching. Contact info is in my profile.

I know some people are opposed to hiring a paid resource, yet when I hired someone for myself, my career abilities and achievements increased much faster than before. And I still meet with a professional mentor regularly.

Of course, both the compatibility and quality of the resource matter, so by all means talk with a few people until you find the right match for you.

If CEOs, actors, athletes, and other pros hire someone to help, why shouldn't you?

Don't pay for feedback. Do some mock interviews with friend and family and ask them for feedback
