you can do it but it's important that you don't go less then the min. thickness stamped on the rotor itself.

The new discs for mine are about $400 each. I am definitely not trashing a rotor with enough metal to stay in service.

£70 each (UK). Will check the manual and the discs and see what the limit is. Just checking that it is fisically possible / recommended / safe to do.
