If you were to refine the tips of your reeds you can make them responsive without damaging the intonation of your reeds. Though too much trimming can make them bright and raspy sounding.

However if the reed is already a well functioning reed further refinement can be quite detrimental.

Search corner tonguing on the clarinet board as that appears to be a sax/clarinet thing before dabbling with that on the oboe in place of regular tip tonguing, it's not a replacement for regular tonguing for clarinets/saxes either. If anything I would imagine that regular tonguing would be made even more difficult if one resorted to corner tonguing all of the time.

There are oboe instructors that prefer to snip the corners of the oboe reed off to refine the sound. I would imagine tonguing those corners would be a tad painful. Tip tonguing on those reeds can be a tad painful!

Another thought though... does your teacher think your tonguing is hard? You could be over critical of yourself and comparing your tonguing to that of your clarinet tonguing.
