Probably not the best idea.
10% damage boost from Multilateral VI is probably more beneficial than the extra 140ish points into DEX.
Plus, you lose out on extra Stance and Avoid.

Once you have 330 all base stats, you can switch to dex completely, works just fine.

Assuming you stop at Multilateral V, you've got 260-each.
If you don't have %str/luk at all, then moving points around purely adds to your stat total.
Gauging from my Xenon, you'll be at about twice the base stats in each before % gear, so around 330*6 = 1980 stat points.
With 330-330-330, 100% dex adds +330 to that for 2310. With 470-260-260, 100% dex adds +470 to that for 2450. The difference is only +6% to your range. So the Multilateral VI would be better. At levels beyond the one where you hit 330-330-330, the extra stats are going into dex anyway so the difference becomes even smaller.

Get to 330 for the bonus, it is worth it. after that you have another 50 levels (250 ap) for dex. If you ever fund him with %all stats that he will not gain as big a boost with uneven stats (i think)

You're not only missing out on 10% total dmg but also 10% stance, 10% status/elemental resist & 10% avoid. If you skip VI you will only have 90% stance compared to 100%, the avoid wont matter much at all and status resist CAN be replaced, but once nerf arrive you need this skill if you wanna be able to reach 100% resist with resistance potion.

Last time I was on my Xenon I couldn't skip the Multilateral VI upgrade so I don't think it's an option.
