Default sharpening die and chamber reamers

i was given a free set of die and chamber reamers for 25-06 ai but when i test reamed a few scrap barrel cut offs the finishing reamers for both die/chamber made excessively oversized chambers. the roughing reamers look just fine and make almost zero chatter with their initial cuts. the roughers are not offset but the finishing reamers are (ive always seem that the other way around). can i just sharpen the reamers on a precision drill grinder? also, is there maybe a way to sharpen on a lathe so i wont have to worry about the reamers loosing there surface temper?
