[Fot] Question 2: (Maybe stupid?) Turning down a piston size

I have +60 pistons I never intend on using given SCCA limits on over- 
sizing, but the pistons are too nice just to get rid of.

Has anyone taken a set of oversize pistons and turned them & the ring  
grooves down to be +40 or even down to +10 or STD so they can be  
used?  I can understand the precision lathe-ing that would need to be  
done to make sure they are true, but has anyone ever tried this, good  
bad or indifferent?

Thanks
