Mike, I concur with your Grip King comments, having repacked the same pedal twice in one season-cmon! I've gone 10 years without doing such maintenance on old Shimano pedals. However, being the owner of some VP Gripster pedals, I can say that your plan will likely fall short because of the pesky axle ridge, or hump, in the pedal platform which won't allow for good grip. It's only tolerable WITH the pins since they prevent your foot from hitting the axle hump.
If you do buy them, I suggest just remove a few of the pins, actually Allen set screws, to see if they really do tear up your shoes that much and I suspect they won't. I don't find the screws all that grippy in actuality. I just really don't care for the pedal, it's too thin, doesn't have good platform size or ergonomics. I feel there are much better options.
