I got my first Légère from the inventor himself at, I believe, the 2000 ClarinetFest in Columbus. He said then (and may have put it in the instructions) that I could permanently decrease the strength by about one number by dipping the tip into boiling water for 10 seconds.

That works.

However, you should never use a reed knife or sandpaper on a Légère. At least on the original model, it raises the fibers into a cottony mess, ruining the reed. It's (barely) possible to clip the tip to increase the strength, but the material is incredibly hard. As you can tell, I've ruined a few.
