Radiator temp probe

Is it possible to sand down the radiator probe for the fan trigger? I have an aluminum rad. and when I insert the fat probe I get tiny pin hole leaks. I'd like to gently buzz it with a grinder to decrease the diameter a bit. Will that ruin it?

Yes, I know of the screw in temp triggers. Thanks.
