I personally would go to the 1k and perform rolling X strokes with little pressure .

Also making sure I didn't do too much .. Easier said than done without experience.

Here is a 1k edge I did recently. Your 1k edge should look a bit more like this imo:

How wide is your bevel in this picture? My bevel is about 0.5mm in the center of the blade and near 1mm at the edges (so this picture is pretty high magnification). It definitely has deeper/more stria than the heel and toe (I was really concentrating on the toe, because of the ding). I'll try to work on it with the 4K as soon as I get another chance, and see how it comes out. I didn't get to test shave it this morning (forgot to bring it up into the bathroom last night).
