I know this sounds stupid, but when a good wheel of mine had a serious flat spot, i put a teensy bit of home depot griptape on the underside of a spare brake I had and bombed a hill while very lightly keeping my foot on the brake, just enough to shave the wheel.

Yo raziel, will normal griptape work?

Probably. Any adhesive sandpaper would probably be able to shave off urethane.
check the wheel though so you don't grind it down too much lol.
