rotor resurfacing?

I put powerslot cryo rotors on all 4 corners of my 1999 Explorer a couple years ago so that they would last a long time. Recently I have noticed a very slight back & forth shimmy in the steering wheel when applying the brakes at low speed. It is barely noticeable, but it is there.
My question is, can I get this type of rotor resurfaced if they are indeed slightly warped? I am not hard on the brakes when applying them. The vehicle has mostly highway miles.

if your rotors arent drilled or slotted, they can be re-surfaced. double check with the manufacturer to be sure.

A warped rotor normally exhibits via pulsing pedal, what you describe would direct me to check for tread separation on a front tire... Philip
