It's just aligning the cam to it's original position. It's not messing with the engineering of the reel or any crude modification. I've seen this problem before with these reels and I'm almost sure the cam needs to be re bent back into the correct position to properly engage the anti reverse. I just don't see that happening on its own. The only way over greasing can make it slip is if there is so much grease in there its holding/ sticking the rollers away from the turning part. Lube does not make them slip, as the way they work, the more pressure is put on them the tighter they get. Not only that but those bearings are supposed to be lubed. I'd be very surprised if over greasing of the anti reverse bearing is causing the problem seeing that the reel has never been opened or serviced from new. if you lose a pin, you'll need to replace the whole bearing. And be super careful with the AR bearing. To get to the AR bearing you'll need to expose and remove some of the guts of the reel and the main drive bearing and anti-revese assembly. If you're not confident rebuilding your reel don't even attempt it. You don't need or want to remove all the lube but all the bearing needs is a 'film'. This will take of the excess surface lube and I'll be really surprised if it doesn't fix the problem. Once you get the AR bearing out, just give the pins a very careful wipe over with a clean, lint-free cloth (don't use tissue or cotton buds if you can help it as the fibres can get caught in the pins). If you're confident to pull apart and then rebuild your reel it should be easy to check if this is the problem. Diawa AR bearings seem particularly sensitive and just the slightest excess of lubricant will make them slip. With use, lubricants in reels move around, change viscosity, get into places they're not meant to be etc. I'd check the anti reverse bearing (titled 'roller clutch' on the schematic) before bending levers or otherwise messing with the engineering of a good reel.
