I like the action just a little low at the nut on my guitars, and I would be more inclined to take a little off the bottom than mess with the nice job the they usually do with the string break and radius.

Removing material from the bottom of a well finished nut is rarely a good way to do the procedure.

If nut slots are desired deeper, they should be cut deeper by someone who does a fine job of it with the nut installed in the guitar.
