Mag Swap - Do I need thinner grips or ?

I always took that rule at face value (no grip panel mods in SS) just to stay on the safe side of the rules.  That said,  I have worn a noticeable, deep groove into the (rubber) left grip panel on my 1911 from constant mag changes (and have the matching callus on my right thumb from all the rubbing...).  I've often wondered if an RO/MD would call me out for that since its no longer in its stock profile and one might assume I did it intentionally..

Is SSTK, you can definitely modify grip panels. I do some light pistolsmithing + custom work, and when I do aggressive 20 lpi front strap checkering I cut custom grips with a deep thumb notch in order to hit the mag release because there's no way you're repositioning your grip quickly. Before and after pics attached.
