Similar to "measure twice, cut once", be very restrained with the 
sanding. It's better to not do enough, which can be remedied by 
more sanding, than to overdo it. My first restrained attempt 
worked, so I did not need to sand anymore.

I laid the sandpaper, abrasive side up, on a hard flat desktop. 
I would move the roller along its axis while _slowly_ rotating 
the roller. With each stroke I probably dragged the roller only 
several centimeters while rotating it 10 to 30 degrees. 
You want to make sure that you sand evenly. 

Good luck!
