You won't be able to do it at home. You will need to go to a shop but are you sure you need more space. Where is the pressure point? If it's big toe or 5th toe it may be a case that you need more surport I the boots. Are you is in any kind of footbed?
let me know your problems and I'll try to advise your best bet.
i have the blue and black full tilt (tom wallisch), they are not my regular skiing boots... i am using them for water ramps and there a bit tight on the toe end of the boot.

I presume you have footbeds in your regular boots then. If so just stick them in the ft. If you have no footbeds you coul just go buy some superfeet but I think they are a waste of money. In my opinion just buy a full custom option first time and save your money. They will fit in your new boots too so long as you have them roughly the same size. A toe box punch to both boots could easily cost 60 bucks so don't bother with that get footbeds instead. Most good fitters will do A little stretch for free if you still need it after buying footbeds.
SO if i take my footbeds from my actually good boots, they wont get damaged by water and lose their shape in the smaller boots

What type do you have?
I have SIDAS footbeds in my booters(good boots, and best footbeds ive ever bought) , transfering them into a full size smaller boot

Yeah you should be good. Sidas footbeds are made about 2-3mm smaller then a liner so even if you put them in a liner too small they will only be at most 7 mm to long. They will be good though as those liners are very soft anyway. Stick them in and you should be good to go.
Da-Bullwill the water damage them?
Tom is right in saying no, but I wouldn't leave them in wet, soggy liner for too long. Take them out after you're done and let them dry properly.
