Very clever - this sounds to me like the way to do it!
I was concerned about the machining ideas since cutting a groove will
usually create a burr along the edge of the cut that would need to be
polished away. Polishing would sharpen the edge of the resulting groove
though, so you'd like to chamfer the edge of the groove. However, that
means more machining and polishing.
