I wouldn;'t modify anything to be safe. Anyway there is nothing wrong with quality of these boilers , as some previous comments stated. Parts are available and customer service seems great. Only issue is refractory wear.
 
I've heard of people making sacrificial nozzle covers out of firebrick, and even heavy plate... SS would probably last quite a while.

I tried that with 5/8 steel when my nozzle was bad
It was a decent temporary fix
 
I like the sloped refractory to keep fuel over the nozzle . May make something like that on my econoburn
You could add some bars at an angle to see if it would make a difference
i get a lot of loads burn out the center, probably because the spruce i burn has to be bigger than the hardwoods it was built for.
