New frets to decrease action?

hi there guys, I did a search on fret height and it came up with 1.1mm (roughly) as a good fret height.. I just got a guitar, FREAKING sweet tone, but the high E is 4mm.. there is not much saddle to shave (altho I might shave about 1mm more off, only abut less than 2mm is protruding on the high E side). the frets on that guitar is pretty flat and low (maybe 0.7-0.8, hard to tell I'm just eyeballing it), I find that I have to press much more accurately right behind the fret to get the proper tone. if I press in the middle of the fretboard (between 2 frets), I find that I have to push harder else there will be buzzing, due to lack of downward pressure, when compared to my other guitar. Can a refret with higher frets (maybe 1.3mm) help decrease the action over the high E string? and would that do anything bad to the guitar? cheers
