I would not consider undercutting tone holes. I would try some slightly harder reeds to see if that helps at all. Work with a teacher who can identify problems with embouchure or other issues. If you have the same problem with different mouthpieces, you can try other mouthpieces and also have others see if they have the same results on your instrument. You want to narrow down where the problem is.

Undercutting or modifying the instrument should only be something to consider if it were somehow determined that the instrument was not manufactured correctly. There are times that players ruin an instrument because of a fundamental problem that they have in playing and address the instrument rather than the underlying problem.
