Basically no changes in point costs will "break" anything. At most they may make certain character builds much more effective than others built on the same number of points, but points and point balance only really matter between PCs when your players care about them. In this case, changing only the cost of skills you've put more than 4 points into, which usually isn't very many per character, and with skills already varying all over the place in terms of how useful an investment they are, I think the effect will be completely negligible.
