Paul, just noticed on your avatar your running a monza? Is this the scoot your talking about. If so pm me as i've been running a monza225 with a PHBH for years now.
I may be able to help.

Hi Nelson. No, I've got Monza spot on after it ran massively rich down to Sandford last March . This relates to classic rapido 200 on lcgb forum

With the modification that he and some other dyno tuners carry out it becomes virtually impossible to know whether you are comparing like like for like. The modified X13 that I left with in my Muggy, after a session at Jerome's, actually meassures up (micrometer) as being the same as an X2... and the X13 and X2 are VERY different in operation and atomiser requirement (based on the different taper length, even though shaft and tip diameters are the same).
Your needle may indeed be standard... but it very well may not be, any idea?

He did polish the needle slightly but when it was worn,I replaced with std.X13 and kept fingers crossed as i don't use egt. All good

"He did polish the needle slightly", that's not a YES or NO answer to 'was it standard'.... but it means NO.
Now you're just chancing it with a standard one, which would probably show weak on his dyno.... you so bad!

Dyno,shmyno,whatever..it works so that's good enough. I think he does it to most of the needles to be 100% safe.

Will that prematurely wear out the bore?

Probably. I'm sure mineral oil does that.
You must take this seriously young man,your humour is being monitored so "spring" back into line.
