Yes you can and it is safe. When you resurface a flywheel it only removes a few one thousandths of an inch. It is just like resurfacing your brake rotor except more precise. The tiny difference in thickness will be adjusted for by the pressure plate.

When you drive a car hard the fly wheel will be come warped of develop imperfections, low stops, high spots and so forth. Resurfacing it makes sure that it is perfectly flat and will actually improve your clutch function.

Just make sure that who ever does the job is a reputable shop with lots of experience. If they mess it up you could be in a world of trouble.

So to sum up, there is nothing wrong with resurfacing the flywheel. It will increase clamping efficiency of the pressure plate and will put less wear on your friction plate. Just make sure you go to the right shop to do it. Maybe even mail it out to RAM or Centerforce, I am sure they resurface flywheels.
