Clever Substitute for "Poor Man's Audio Deske" ?

I noticed that CDs are not the same diameter when using my De Mat.
The small lip on the outer edge of the dampening mat does not lay flat on larger diameter discs.
I am trying to find a way to cut, shave or sand the outer disc edge by carefully mounting the CD in say, a small cordless drill at low rpms. (self-centering device with rubber) ?
I'd use a junk CD to start, so yes, I already know the risk factors involved with scratching or trashing my collection.
I only need to remove very little material.
What I don't want to do, is spend $ 500.00 + on the System Deske.

The PC layer protects the inner metalized layer from corrosion and oxidation. Cutting into that layer could allow moisture and other nasties into the metalized layer, which in turn will render you prized CD as a coaster.

Audio Deske is likely more interested in sell machines that looking after you discs.
