Grinding Fuel Pin?

Is it possible to grind a stock fuel pin? If anyone has done this can you explain how. If it comes down to it I guess I could just buy an aftermarket but would rather not, property taxes are coming and it ain't cheap. Thanks to anyone who can offer some help.

Just wanted say thanks again for the advice, the 6PSI gain in boost and the 3mpg's (as long as my foot isn't feeling heavy).

Geno's and Glacier Diesel sell high flow banjo bolts. Might as well upgrade while you're at it.
