I have a ASME Sec.VIII Pressure Vessel with a tread o-let that the bead is keeping a thermowel from screwing in. I am asking, Is it permissable to grind a little on the bead, so the themowel will pass and not interfere with the code.

Yes, if you don't undercut the weld.

It is permissible by ASME Code to flush grind or flat top groove and partial penetration welds.
