5) ever give one too many twists on a reamer? Not an easy remedy for that one.

I don't think it works fine as it is. Often times it's easy to get a string not properly seated against the bridge plate because the slotted pins and string together are too big for the hole which causes the pins to ride too high. Once you've reamed and slotted a guitar you realize just how easy it is to do at home. It makes string changes easier, it makes the pins sit better, and it keeps your bridge plate in great shape. There's really no downside at all.
