Any tips on how to remove these lead-in / lead out cusps in this Contour strat?

Hey all,

 

I'm running a contour with a 1/4" ball at 0.01 to try and get a really good surface finish on this contour, but I'm left with these cusps that coincide with where the tool likes to lead in and lead out on passes. I'm wondering if there is a good way to remove them, or if another strat like GEO might be better for this.

Overall tips on this for the surface finish and improving the strat are appreciated!
