Yes, it is just common since that the oil hole will move in the direction of the angle that it is drilled at if, the radius of the journal is reduced, w/o offsetting the center line to make up for it. Offset grinding has been around, at least 100 years but, it's usual purpose is aim at as much stroke increase as possible, there by leaving the outer surface in place, minus the material for clean up and I wouldn't remove more than .020, from that surface. Equivalent to a .040 under bearing and using however much you do take off that surface, to increase the journal radius.
With 2.25 journals you can have a FE rod journal offset ground to 3.96 stoke. It can be done for $250 + shipping, in Reddind CA. That's the price I got 1 year ago.
It doesn't help the OP but, a easy offset grind would be a 414/416 ci engine, using 390 Cad rods (2.25 dia x 7/8 wide x 6.5 long) 3.96 stoke with a 390 crank. Used in combination with a 410, 1.660 CH piston (1.660 + 6.5 + 1.98 = 10.140).
It's a little harder but, you could also do it with a Pontiac, 6.625 long x 2.25 dia rod (but they are a little wider on the big end) and .080 over SBC pistons, 1.56 CH, with bushed small ends (1.56 + 6.625 + 1.98 = 10.165).
Just food for thought.
Edit:
One other combo, I forgot to mention, is using the 317/368 Linc rods (if you could find them), they are also 2.250 journals and 7/8 wide. That would work out this way, 1.98 + 7.065 + 1.125 CH = 10.17. There are all kinds of SBF & SBC pistons, with CH's of 1.09, 1.100, 1.125 and 1.130.
