Oh yeah. Any decent shop can punch out your hot spots. If you punch it out too far it can eff with the integrity of the shell but being that you already have a year in them I'd venture to guess that wouldn't be the case.

If you bought your boots from a shop, there should be some sort of boot fit guarantee in place. Ask your shop about it.

If you bought them online, a local shop could charge by the punch or by the hour. Depends on the shop and depends on how much you need, where it is on the boot, etc. $20-$100

^this and ask them approx how much they think it'll cost. I say that cause they're booters and they still don't fit perfect. If its over $100 it may be more cost effective to sell your old boots and grab a new pair at the shop and get the fitting done for free. See the logic? Haha. Won't take much to convince yourself you need new gear. Lol
