Not at all. There's almost no stress on the slide in that area.
Sure, anywhere you take metal away will reduce the ultimate strength of the material. But you have to correlate that with the strength necessary.
One of the goals of a builder is to make the slide as light as possible, yet keep it strong enough to withstand the use. This is why you see guys have their slides machined with holes in them.
So, you can rest easy, those serrations don't affect the strength of the slide.
