you can skim them but it isn't compulsory if they are not warped, best get them checked to see how flat/warped they are first before you make a decision?
raising the compression ratio is not that a bad thing tbh, but you will need to use high grade fuel at all times though after

A minimal skim of a couple of thou makes no appreciable difference to CR. While they are off best get them checked but as a said above a lap in on a surface plate is good practice.
