You often can do it but need to know the possible side effects etc.
My last place machined screws to put holes thru for lockwire/split pins quite a bit & grooves for circlips etc.
We also machined set screws to be able to put a wedge on the bottom.
KENAT, probably the least qualified checker you'll ever meet...

Many years ago we armored a limousine for an overseas client. After they received it they tore it down in order to bench mark it. They found welded extensions to the seat bolts, very embarrassing. All the techs had to do was ask for longer bolts, and we could have procured them.

Those are the generalities, there are always exceptions.
As part of R&D it's a rare day that I don't machine a bolt in some manner.
