I’ve always recommended against skipping sizes:
Post photos of how the cut turned out?

To some it may be overkill but I always start with 1/4” end mill for roughing then go to 1/8” ball nose and last to 1/16” ball nose. All with a step over of 10%. Yes, takes longer but comes out super smooth and the time you spend on the CNC you save on the sanding afterwards.
