Is it possible to machine a brake disk to remove or reduce bad scoring (from a seized brake pad?) or should you just buy a new disk?

Could probably get a machine shop that can do surface grinding to give it a clean up..

Depends on the depth of the scoring.

Most brake discs have a minimum thickness.

Discs can definitely be machined to smooth, but if they get too skinny you'll fail a warrant.
