A Martin nut, especially the older style on certain models, locks between the end of the fretboard and the edge of the face plate. Sanding from the bottom will ruin the fit of the nut. Plus, Martins are finished with the nut in place, so you risk finish damage taking it out. For that and other reasons, on a Martin you should either lower the slots individually or leave it to a pro.
