Shims have a hardened surface that will be damaged by grinding. Replacement shims of the proper thickness are the only way to go.

Yes you can swap shims.
Follow the manual on shim changes and measurements. It is explained in detail in the manual.
Links are in my signature to download manuals. Use the factory manual.
