Should i lap my CPU?

MY Q6600 is currently idling 51,51,44,40 and i am wondering if the temps are unstable because of the COU not being perfectly flat. Would lapping that and my cooler make a difference with the temperatures

it is a £10 cpu cooler trying to cool a Q6600 at 3.8ghz, that is why it is hot

and this isnt the first cpu cooler to show odd temps. will try with the new one if the same will lap both.
