... My .40 is a hot OS.40FX...

DS,

This clause in an oxymoron...

There is no such thing as a 'hot OS.40FX'...

It is just an average power sport engine.

Also, because it has an ABN piston-and-liner set, you cannot successfully port it...
The electro-less nickel coating relies on surface continuity, for its integrity.

If you Dremel the ports, this continuity will be broken and the mediocre bond-strength of the nickel to the brass, will allow the nickel to peel off...

If you do think porting the sleeve is within your scope of possibilities, start with a true-chromium P+L set, such as the one for a Magnum/ASP .40 Pro (made by Sanye in China).

The chromium has a superior bond strength to the brass and will not peel off.
