There is no problem using the standard brake cylinder hone - as if you don't tighten it down, it will just lightly hone the bores. Even if you crank it down, it takes a whole heck of a lot of continuous honing to remove any real amount of material. Go for it . . .

You can also use a "Ball Hone" that is designed for the cylinder sizes you have . . . but you end up having to buy a few of them as they are obviously not adjustable.
