I would think that race cams are all about longer duration / sharper profile. So rather than regrind, it is more about adding more material.

We have been doing this on single cylinder Ducati cams for years, normally by grinding the base circle, to get the extra meat on the other side.

The biggest thing however with Desmo cams is that you have to keep the opening and closing profiles perfectly in sync with each other - easier said than done!

I would try Newman Cams of Farnborough Kent in the 1st instance.
