Other than aesthetics, I don't see any reason to keep removing the saddle several times to get a perfect fit for each string when 'sculpting' out the groove with a Dremel seems it might work.
better to set string arch and intonation and then just remove material off of the bottom to adjust action -much easier. you really shouldn't have grooves in your saddle.
