"what's a gagortion?"
Clawhammer player here. I would advise against taking out the frets, dremeling or anything like that. The clawhammer scooped neck isn't just a fretless portion of the banjo, a bunch of the wood is taken out so you have a larger gap between the string and the fretboard area.

It gives you a different sound, and the ability to play "the cluck" but other than that, just stick with picking over the head. Although, There are lots of players who frail over top of regularly fretted banjos. It's not impossible.
