I have never had any luck with doing these with a router. Use a 3/8 bent V tool and take it down slow. Don't try to remove to much all at once, start off small with your first pass maybe 1/8 to 1/4" and keep going over it. you can shave it down in no time and this way you wont have to worry about breaking off the peaks. also remember you don't have to use the entire V edge once you start getting deeper, one side of it will clean up any squiggles you may have had.
