Default How much boost can a grp A head gasket take?

I got a wrc 4 layer head gasket fitted a while back and it would seem that the block face needs skimming as im having problems with water coming out of the header tank on full boost occasionally. Now to try and save me stripping the engine to skim the block would a group A head gasket do? It is peaking at about 30psi and holds somewhere around 27. Thanks. Matt.
