No worries.
Sorry to be pedantic, but it's not really a modification as such, it's returning the TPS to it's correct stock condition, so it's more like 'tuning'.
I think it would be better to say 'can be' rather than 'is', because the effectiveness will vary according to how far the calibration has driffted over time.
Out of curiosity, how far out were your voltages before you 'tuned' them? Also, when you rotated the TPS, did you move the WOT voltage off spec in order to achieve the correct closed throttle spec? If 'yes' then you might want to consider returning the WOT voltage to spec and resetting the closed throttle to spec using the throttle stop screw.
While checking around to verify whether your quoted voltages applied to my Accord, I saw a couple of references to the stock TPS "rivets" actually being blind headed bolts threaded into the TB casting (so can't be undone with 'normal' tools, Honda obviously doesn't want anyone messing with the TPS setting). So if this is correct there should have been no need to grind the head off, just cut a screwdriver slot...
