If you want to do in situ, could you affix a dremel to the tool rest and lightly grind it square while it runs? Doesn't sound like it would take much.

Re: machining should square
I took Chief's crazy suggestion, pulled the guards off, chucked up one end of the shaft (too lazy to get out the collets and I was machining the other end anyway), and put the other end in the live center.
I gave it a light cut and that made an improvement.
Then I swapped out the crappy lawn mower wheel and put on one of my surface grinding wheels and the grinder stopped jumping around.
I think I'm going to go with making the arbor / washer combination too. I'll also make a sleeve for the 1" shaft to bring it up to 1-1/4" so I can run surface grinder wheels in it.
