Be very careful. It is MUCH more annoying to have a gun that can be reloaded without getting cocked. Also, if the cocking starts too late, it can leave the strikers resting on the (fired) primers making the gun difficult to open.
I did have your problem corrected by a gunsmith on a (German) gun by having the cocking levers bent slightly. Removing metal is to be avoided wherever possible.
