I agree, just trim the point off.

Does anyone have any suggestions about the occasional claw that looks
like it hasn't shed a layer for a while and appears thickened, and
not very pointy? Is there a way of coaxing the layer off that isn't
too uncomfortable to the kitty? I think he used to chew them off when
he was younger. The affected claws don't look like a fungal problem,
and I've read this happens more in older cats.

I'll be interested in this answer. Tigger's vet called them her "old lady
claws" but had no suggestions what to do with them so I gather it's common
with older cats. She eventually sheds the outside layer but it takes
forever.
