Toshio Odate sells a special dished "crowning" plate specifically for this purpose. Yet the amount of sweat that goes into re-flattening vintage dished oil stones would fill up the Grand Canyon.

The old timers couldn't wait 'til their stones were worked into a concave state. That's why so many of them are found "in the wild" in this condition.
