Smile Regrind crankshaft

Have a 2000 S Type with bottom end knock. Taking steer from the Engine Repair Course downloaded from the Tech Guides section of the forum, it appears that I will not be able to grind the crankshaft quote "Crankshaft: Manufactured in nodular cast iron, the five mainbearing crankshaft has six counterbalance weights to ensure smooth rotation.The five main bearing and four connecting rod journals have undercut and rolledfillets for improved strength. The crankshaft is not hardened and should behandled carefully to prevent damage to the bearing surfaces. It should not bereground. Regrinding will damage the roled fillets and weaken the crankshaft" Any views from you tech guys out there?
