Replacing one tire on a Subaru AWD?

I got my first flat in over 20 years yesterday on the freeway on a 2007 Subaru Legacy. Two dealers said if the circumference of the new tire isn't within 1/4" of the others, which have 9,000 miles on them, I need to replace all four tires. I know Roger Kraus Tires in Castro Valley has good tire shaving equipment and has done it for years, so any downside to shaving the new tire to match the tread depth of the other three? Another tire dealer I've dealt with for years says that's not advisable.
