Jim and I were surprised to see the same on some of his XZX tyres - I don't think we worked out if there was a common manufacturing date, but he may have compared a few since. Fine cracks - like crazing on china - are no problem. I have a couple of 12(?) year-old ones that are near the end of their tread life that have had the fine cracks for several years with no problem. Some of Jim's were a bit deep to want to take to Parma. If they are deep and water gets in, it might cause weakness or maybe delamination eventually. Personally my life is worth even more than a set of XZXs to me, so it would be worth at least getting a second informed opinion, if you can find someone who wants to do more than just sell you a set of tyres and actually knows something about them.
