Wanted to know if it's possible to file and re-crown jumbo frets and make them medium-jumbo frets? I think I'd rather do this if it's possible than refret the entire neck. The jumbo and medium-jumbo frets have the same width but about 0.010 height difference.
And if this is possible the other main question is: how can you assure that all frets are the same height and level?

I believe it's possible if you are extremely talented on doing so... but I wouldnt do it... Id take it to a plekk machine and Id know for sure that it is perfectly filed .. :)
