pronunciation of 削

xiāo would be more normal from my experience, but xuē isn't wrong. If your 'should' relates to what is the correct standard pronounciation, I would presume xuē, as it is more literary. That being said, this sentence is pretty colloquial, so I would still go for xiāo.

I will quote what is written in the definition of my 现代汉语规范词典

 

Quote

xuē是文读。xiāo是白读, 口语中可单指用刀去掉物体外皮, 如“削苹果”; 打乒乓球“削球”的“削”是一种比喻义, 也读xiāo。

 

I would choose xuē
