I have been doing this a long time. I do not have a bunch of micrometers. Just a 0" to 1" and a 3" micrometer and rarely use them.
No dial bore gauge either, but I will get one to check used bores....

Run the 6X-4 heads. Just get the CR to 9.25 and you will be fine. A little insurance does not hurt. And the difference in power in 9.75 is not worth it IMO. Long time iron head pump gas guy here....
