No. Altering the size or shape of burner openings can affect combustion. Use only the owner cleaning method stated for permitted removable parts.
What the observation means
A metal tool that appears to fit can enlarge or damage an opening. An ignition or flame problem also may not be caused by visible residue.
A useful next step
Stop using an abnormal burner and seek appropriate gas assessment if approved cleaning does not resolve an owner-care issue. Do not drill, file or modify jets or burner ports. A smell of gas requires the emergency response rather than continued cleaning attempts.
