Yes, the wall thickness is most important. As long as the wall thickness is fine, pitting is not so much an issue. Unless the pitting is so bad that it creates a thin spot. Usually pitting is not picked up by wall thickness gauges. It has to be very bad to do that.
Pitting just means you have to clean them more often.
If there is a lot of wall thickness, you could hone some to try and smooth things out a bit. But I would not do that unless you are at .040 to .050 at the thinnest spots.
To burnish just use anything that is metal and smooth. The round metal shaft of a screwdriver that uses interchangeable bits works very well. Just rub with pressure and the points will start to flatten out.
Burnishing Allows you to maintain a glossy surface to the tops of the diamonds. Whereas sanding will loose that.
