Welcome.
I don't see the problem with grinding the crank, I think its more an issue of finding a shop that can do it right. Like the older crankshafts from VW, the D24 is a true forged crank. Grinding off 10 thousands isn't going to comprimise strength, or change how it wears assuming its done right.
Post up some pictures of your project in the garage section!
