Thinking of changing my afr from 14.0 to 13.8 to run cooler, will it help?

Remember that we don't actually have O2 sensors on our bike and there is no such thing. We have lambda sensors and stoich is dependent on the fuel being used.
I would be leery of vague answers about how this or that doesn't work or people opinion not backed up with fact. I have friends in the industry as well. Doesn't change the simple facts of how a sensor works.

Short for stoichiometry, the calculation of the quantities of reactants and products in a chemical reaction.
An oxygen sensor (or lambda sensor) is an electronic device that measures the proportion of oxygen (O2) in the gas or liquid being analysed. It was developed by the Robert Bosch GmbH company during the late 1960s under the supervision of Dr. Günter Bauman.

Your taste is based on what? Tuning over 100 bikes a year targeting .877 for closed loop range. Feedback from customers on performance and 40 plus gas mileage? Tuning your own bike to .877 and verifying with WB's that it is holding the target? Countless flight recording files showing that .877 is being held? Because that is what I have done. I'm not basing this on my feelings. I don't see where emotion fits into this tuning/ tech thing at all. 2+2=4 How one feels about this has no bearing. You can feel that it should be 5, but your feelings are wrong.

What calibration level are you dealing with? I assume a AFR target table in AFR and not lambda. Are you dealing with closed loop bias tables? Targeting CLB tables to .877 is going to produce a target of whatever .877 lines up with to the type of fuel you are using. Main reason this table is straight voltage. The AFR table is scaled for lambda. No reason to rescale this. BUT it is important to understand what is really going on with different types of fuel. The AFR ratios aren't really what we are seeing with todays fuels. Ethanol is in our fuels and they do affect the RON number and cooling affect that isn't present with straight gasoline.
