Some of the old chrome plated ferrules came from the factory very, very tight. Because chrome plating is comparatively hard, it is difficult to ease the fit. Once the chrome plate is breached, the underlying brass is much softer and cuts away faster. Relieving a chrome plated ferrule is probably not going to work. The better option might be installing new ferrules.
