Everybody likes the outside of the moon. The interior’s sort of useless. Maybe the pretty outside can be kept as a shell.
I think that if you don’t want ecological disruption from changing the tides, you shouldn’t change the mass very much. In other words, I don’t know how to do the math, but I’m assuming that 1 to 5% would make an annoying difference.
