I have a few small nicks on the leading edges of my front and rear props that would probably smooth out nicely with some 400 grit paper. Do I risk throwing off the balance, or worse?

You'd have to file off a significant amount of material before your balance would be affected. Smoothing out little edge dings is certainly not going to hurt anthing.
