If you sand too far you can, but by the time you get down that close you are
using 4000 grit sandpaper, and would take you days to wear through the
copper.  The actual chip itself is layed inside of the copper.  The benefits
of lapping can be marginal on flat p2/3 chips, but with the nasty case they
put k-6's in, it makes them a good candidate.  Temperature is the biggest
limiting factor for overclocking, if your surfaces are uneven, there will be
gaps, which prevents heat transfer.  And I almost forgot, you sand the
bottom of the heatsink flat too.  I'll see if I can't find the link for you
tomorrow.
