what tool were you planning on using the grind it? I'm not sure that its possible to get the door open all the way, so a die grinder with a tapered tip might do it...
Everyone always posts the pics of the S4 port on the wastegate, but I know somewhere I've seen the S5 one done...and thought that the door was actually open pretty far to allow clearance in there
The wastegate on my 91 T2 is ported...done by the previous owner...he was a machine-ist who had access to many tools, and said he just used a die grinder. Good luck with the task, I'm sure somewhere after some searching you'll discover the pics of either the S4 or S5 door, and see how those owners were able to pull it open.
