Deepening fork dropouts

Has anyone ever dremeled their fork dropouts to make the front wheel axel sit deeper into the fork? I'd like to tighten up my front end geometry, and currently am running a straight blade fork. The top of my front wheel (with tire) sits 3/4 of an inch from the apex of the fork, and I'd like to lessen this distance. Structurally, would deepening the fork dropout by 1/4 inch make it completely unsound?
