Thanks for the replies fellas!
I would beat the crap out of the headers before taking the grinder to that area to remove a significant amount of material. I would round the corners, but nothing more.

If you crack or damage the starter area, there isn't a good way to fix it, and without a starter your engine is basically a big boat anchor.
