De spurring rooster but not all the way where he doesn't have any!

Hello, I've had this flock for two years now. They are two yrs old. Blondie is my rooster. He's amazing! He dances and will dance all around you until you pet him. When we sit outside he jumps on our laps and wants to be petted. He follows me around the yard like a puppy he's truly our pet.

With that being said I will post a pic on here but I'm worried and scared that his spurs will grow into his legs. I researched it and watched videos. This can lead to infection and severe pain and many other problems.
I've also seen videos of de souring yourselves with dykes and plyers. Not sure we want to do it ourselves.
So can anyone tell me about a cheepish way of having someone else do it?
Risks and ways to PREVENT infection? I really don't want anything bad happening to him! He's my babe!
So because he's a sweet roo, I am afraid he might turn mean and be resentful. Is this a case I have to be worried about?
Last but not least do I have to segregate him till he's completely healed?

Do we have to lock him up so he doesn't accidentally hurt himself jumping or anything like that?

A Dremel tool with a grinding disc will cut through the spur cauterizing it at the same time.
Wrap your rooster snuggly in a towel. His feet should be exposed with his legs tied together so he cant kick. Lay him on a flat surface and start on a spur.
When you cut through the spur, the spur will start to get hot, simply stop for about 10 seconds and let it cool a little and then continue cutting through the spur taking short breaks.
You'll eventually cut through the spur and it will be a flat clean cut without blood.
Then do the same to the other spur. Once you're done, release your rooster to go about his business.
Wear eye protection and old clothes.

I haven't had to deal with this yet, but there are a number of options: https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/rooster-spurs-everything-you-need-to-know.77577/

Using the Dremel method above is the safest method I've found. Helped a neighbor do it this way when I was in Senior year of highschool.

Years before this, my dad used the kind of clippers used to trim hooves... it worked on one spur, but the bird kicked and panicked at the same time my dad started to squeeze down on the second. The panicked movement plus clippers halfway through the spur pulled his spur off his leg. it was a bloody mess that looked painful.

Cover the head without suffocating him. The darkness of being covered sends the rooster into a stillness instinct and he is less likely (but still able to) panic. Be sure he is secured!!!
