Personally, since the downside of doing harm to the interior is MUCH greater than the upside (um....what IS the upside?), I wouldn't touch the interior.
Similarly, if the imperfections of the tip rail are not causing a problem, I would avoid the tinkering. The ONLY thing that you can do is to (ever so slightly I grant you) open up the tip. If you are getting uncontrolled squeaks from it, even a seasoned mouthpiece repair person would only do minor adjustments before telling you that the balance of making improvements vs. making it too different tips toward the latter.
If you're really set on the tip rail reform, try swirling it a few times on glass first. This can smooth out imperfections without changing the dimensions very much.
