Enigmatic Variations 881 'STOMACH'

This is my first attempt at this crossword and I need a few pointers!

I understand (I think) that a quarter of the clues are represented by
'Name' Stomach' Surname' but do I take it that the remainder of
the clues each have one letter removed before entry into the grid?

1a Shaking sabre is more virile (5)

BEARS (anag/shaking sabre) would fulfil 'stomach' but not the whole clue.

Before I waste a lot of time could some kind person put me on the right track?

Times Jumbo 835

The answer is "baser" , an anagram of sabre, The answer means "vile" which is what you have left when you take out the central two letters of virile. Thus "R" is the first letter required to make the phrase needed which tells you what to do with the themed answers
