You probably could using the "race pad resurface" method, however bear in mind (no pun intended) that if your rotors do have their holes chamfered, the machining will reduce the chamfering, thus making the holes much more destructive to the pads, and hurt braking performance. However you sucessfully resurface the rotors, you might or might not have to rechamfer the holes.

Just to let you know, after reading the warranty, it mentions actual warping of the rotor itself, and not the warping of the rotor surface from uneven pad deposition, otherwise known as runout.
If you have runout, then you'll have to perform what I recommended above, because it appears that Baer won't replace a rotor with runout under their warranty programme. Makes sense, because while many rotors will exhibit runout, practically very little will warp.
