So I have this dime, that I believe is plated with gold. It is in good condition as far as details go and think that under normal conditions would grade rather well. My question is, how does the gold plating affect the viability for grading?

It can't be graded as it is now considered an altered coin.

Also, always best to remove coins from holders whenever possible before taking photos.

If it's plated and not just naturally toned then its a damaged coin and would not obtain a valid straight grade at any reputable TPG

note for future for photo taking. give it a try and see how they turn out

1. remove coin from holder if possible
2. turn off flash
3. place coin on flat surface with indirect natural light. maybe a window sill in a cloudy day. Use a black or white background to avoid any reflective color
4. move phone about 3in from coin
5. zoom in using your fingers until the coin comes into focus and fills the camera. if your phone has a portrait selection use that and then press and hold on the coin in the view finder to AF lock it
6. hold phone steady. if you cant then place something on either side of the coin (like books) at that distance and lay phone between them. this will hold it steady and allow you to zoom and take the photo without any blurring

Just worth a dime, unfortunately.
