Well, I modified mine with a Dremel (rotary) tool using a few of their metal cutting disks. I could have done a better job with keeping straight lines along the inner lip. however, this has *zero* effect on fit (the outer lip sits perfectly flush now) and I was able to use the same cutting disks to create nice smooth edges (no worries about sharp edges cutting skin or scratching the grill's paint). I skipped the sanding and applied on high temp paint direct from the spray can using painter's tape to reduce overspray (could have done better with that, hehe, but good enough for government work). It took maybe 1-2 hours of actual active time and maybe 20 dollars worth of materials (a few metal cutting disks plus high temp paint from Home Depot). This was not difficult.
I'm quite happy with the result. Though it does not look like a proper factory job if one looks carefully (you'd have to look at the inside of the rotisserie ring to notice), it was easy, reasonably safe, works well, and looks like a normal factory setup from the outside. I'd recommend this approach if you have a modicum of mechanical skills given the lack of other options out there today.
