I have the spindle out of my 1942 EE10 to replace the clutch fork. The clutch dogs are rounded, as shown here:

Should I attempt to grind these square or just leave them alone?

I would but lightly "stone" the edges smooth of burrs - if any - and put 'em back in. They only have to carry power to the threading leadscrew, not-even the more heavily-loaded surfacing drive system, let alone the primary turning torque as those in the reduction gearbox on the motor have to serve.

I agree that they don't have to transmit much torque, but if they're iffy in shifting I feel like this is the time to true up the faces.
