There is a walkthrough a few hundred pages back. I dont think it is particularly hard to do just a lot of cleanup afterwards with the small pieces that are glues to the grill. Also painting of the grill because once the buttons are taken off/glue, sharpie can do the job. The only risk is doing it in a rush and potentially leaving or not being able to get out a piece of broken button into the housing.
Also, I think Grado will ship the Hemp without the button, if requested in advance.
To go along with above is the fact which I doubt is any secret that hot glue is used to attach the buttons. You would need to carefully reverse that with the careful application of heat to the button to loosen the grip. As stated that would leave evidence of the mod as the grill will need at least that color touch up. If small then a black marker should suffice. If larger then Testor’s black enamel for models lightly applied will blend better as the blue tone of the marker might be more noticeable in that situation than black paint.
MOST Important is not to apply too much heat as you could easily damage the drivers and would not be covered by the warranty.
I also haven’t seen much of a comparison on the RS2e vs the hemp? I saw one person back in this thread share on it but just that one. They seemed to like the RS2e more. I saw one other person on another forums say the hemp was better but not much detail. Anyone else compared them at all?
The Hemp definitely has more bass, while reduced in the highs (slightly) compared to the RS2e. The RS2e is more resolving though. Soundstage is wider on the Hemp, imo. The are very similar, but I think the Hemps just have something special about them. I prefer the Hemps over the RS2e. I actually brought the RS2e into work so they would get some play time. Different enough to keep both in my collection.
Edit to add: The RS2e is your typical Grado sound. The Hemps are more laid back, I think. When I say resolving for the RS2e, I mean things are more up front in the placement so you hear things right away. Maybe the wrong word to use? But I think the Hemps have more detail.
Thanks, a chance photo as I was experimenting with an amp a friend built so I just moved that group onto a chair nearby. I don’t know if you noticed but they are sitting gently on top of a Maple Tree Audio tube that I am contemplating selling.

Thanks for the nice words. The rack is one of 3 abodes I have in the house for amp set ups. Below is pretty much the current state of that. Always fun to share.

Without losing sight of the music I am pretty familiar with the characteristics of my different amps so they can be my seasoning for a best match combo.
I have quite a few amps that combine real well with Grados along with other headphone/amp combos.
