surface grind shims on 3.0

I am rebuilding the heads on my 3.0. Some of the shims need to be thinner for the valve clearance. I have access to a surface grinder. Would that work to grind the shims thinner or should a person by new ones?

I think it would work, but why go through all the trouble? Besides you may change the temper of the shim. I think it would be far easier and better to put in a new part. My 2 cents.
