That extra material is there to allow for the distortion from welding, you'll probably find that the head tube is slightly oval at the tops, not a problem as they've added material to allow you to ream it round. Even if there was just enough material to allow for a larger headset size, your end up with thinner walls at front and back of the head tube, and a good chance it will split.
