Nonononono I wouldn't do that.  Dometic practically *shrieks* to never ever
ever stick anything but alcohol and compressed air in that orifice, most
particularly anything metal.  Aside from messing with the cross-section,
what effect would a burr have on the flow characteristics of the gas?

Of course if you know what the I.D. is supposed to be and are equipped to
make measurements to the necessary spec -- basically, ISTM if you are
equipped to make a new orifice from scratch -- then Dometic's instructions
probably don't apply to you.
