No way on earth would I machine 50 thou off a decent block if there was another way of doing it.
There are plenty of good pistons around, sports or otherwise, and in the old days we used to cheerfully re-use good second hand ones with new rings on.
If you are hell-bent on using the Honda pistons I'd use silicone sealant instead of a base gasket and assemble while soft, effectively you get a metal to metal joint, so no added height.
