Default Head Mod (squish)

I drive a EC 300 '09 Model and I'm looking for bit more power at the bottom and a better throttle response since I mostly ride very tight and tricky stuff. I measured squish and my results are 2mm. The base gaskets are 1 grey and 2 greens = 1,1mm. Compression on a warm engine was 11,5 bar, 166psi. I know how to use a lathe so i was thinking to just take of 0,2mm off the head to drop the combustion chamber of the head down and therefor change squish to 1,8mm for starts and see if I like the results. The fuel we run here has at least 95 Octane so that should be ok. Will this mod be a risk for the engine or should I just go for it?
