Yep. Lap 'em.
Only to a limited extent.You have to keep them in balance and this seems
harder to do with molding head cutters then other types of cutters, such as
router bits.

They can be sharpened by honing on the flat side. You should attempt
to balance the honing, but if your molding head is anything like mine
it faaaaaar outweighs the cutters and will easily dampen any
reasonable deviation in weight of the cutters, so you don't have to be
anal about it. In comparison, router bits have almost no weight other
than the cutters and fairly small deviations can become noticable.
