The teeth feel much catchier after filing them with a triangular jeweler’s saw (left half is done), but it still takes a minute of rocking the but back and forth to get through 3/4" plywood.

You can fix the warping, or close-enough to “fixed”, if you’re poor or cheap or just obsessed with wringing the value from each purchase ( hi ).
Luckilly, the line between “fixable” and “holy shit, this things wobbling so much its going to grab, walk its way off the board, and cut into my leg” is readilly apparent, to anyone who has any business using such tools.
Honestly I just assume grab new ones once they go shitty, the cost of me taking the time to mess with it vs buying a new one is not worth it in terms of productivity. In my world of electrical the holes need to be perfectly circular, so I just assume not waste time on it.
Right there with you. I have cheap sets in case I loose the carbide-tipped ones in the size I want between pay-checks, and to lend out, but if one of those cheapos goes egg-shaped, I’m more likedy to throw it away or find another use for it than to try to fix it.
