I have an accurate brand 9mm mold that is groove less. Bullets fall like rain. You could drill out a lee mold if you wanted, they are cheap enough. For the cost of a good mold, I would get a NOE or Accurate mold.

Yes, Erik at Hollow Point Bullet Molds https://www.hollowpointmold.com/ can remove the lube grooves. I had him do it to a mold that had a damaged groove and his work was great and now the bullets fall out and are much more accurate now. When I bout the mold online it looked like someone tried to remove a bullet from the mold with a pick of some sort and damaged the bottom groove of a 2 groove 44 mag 320gr mold. I had Erik remove both grooves as I had planned to powder coat the bullets.
I have not had any issues with grooves on powder coated bullets so I would not bother .
If you try, don't remove all the groove - leave some for alloy 'collection'. My pistol molds are all normal grooves, even PCd. Never used grease/wax lube on any bullets.
