I'd use the abrasive disk. Roton ball screws are case-hardened (Ball Screws - Ballscrews and Ballnuts - Roton Products) so while the outsides are pretty hard, the centers are still soft. The heat-affected zone on the end won't make much difference. If you need to reduce the diameter to get it to fit in a bushing, you can remove the outside layer by grinding, and then true it up in a lathe.
