I did that about a year ago, works fine. I ordered a bunch of different screws from Lisa (the one that goes underside the VFO knob, to lock down the multiturn pot) and then did the job of cautiously 'drilling' the sink-angles.
The body DOES get a little weaker this way, but it's still fine because there's many screws to do the job.

The K1 has always had countersunk flathead screws on the cabinet sides and top. It's a very nice effect that, until the appearance of the K3, was not duplicated on other Elecraft radios.
