If the teeth have sharp burrs, then I would take a very small, single cut file and carefully dress them off. Another possibility would be to use a Dremel tool or die grinder fitted with a suitable, small grinding tool for fine work.
I struggle to imagine one that had enough material loss that it would be a problem. If you had one that bad, I don't think you would be asking, you would have already decided on your own that it was junk. The condition of shafts and bearings is far more critical.
