You would need this attachment on your valve grinder.

Does grinding them wear through the hardness? Do they have to be heat treated after they are ground?

Yes, that's what they do.
HOWEVER: there is no fixture that actually restores the original radius to the pad, the accuracy of the finished product depends largely on the skill of the operator.

Agreed, you need a very light touch/minimal material removal.
