Question Think I've warped my rear disc! Can they be skimmed?

Before I start it's not an SV but a Daytona. Got the tyres done and just sorted the chain tension but when I ran it on the paddock stand I heard a sound which I traced to the disc rubbing the brake pad in one spot. The caliper could clearly be seen twitching at the same point. I undone the disc on the wheel and rotated it and checked for dirt or crud behind the mountings but nothing. I put it back in a defferent position but the same thing occurred. Straight away it dawned on me it must be when the disc fell out of my van onto the floor. Is it possible that this has warped it? I'd never ran the bike on the stand until now so can't be sure if it's just happened or not. I think by moving the position of the disc on the wheel I've proved the wheel isn't crooked.

Any advise or help from people in the know appreciated please. I was going to take the bike out soon to scrub in the tyres. I'll stop after a bit to check the disc isn't melting off the wheel.

If it is warped can it be skimmed? I understand the tolerance for bike discs is very low.
