    Your mold, but were it my mold it would be recut on a mill with a new cherry. If a nose pour. If I did not have a way to hold both sides, stable and adjust the sides for depth of cut, so I could open the bottom, I would call the original mold maker.
    I have a suspicion it wold be way cheaper to just find a new mold that fits your needs/wishes.
    If a bottom pour, your option, but I would still see about using the mill.

    Pietta's can be a problem or an opportunity depending upon which side of the bed I got out of.
    This was my solution to how they machine their chambers smaller than groove diameter.
