Agreed.

Use an oil based ceiling paint is the only way to go and will only require one coat. It will also seal in any stains and smells.

As for a roller sleeve, there are big yellow spongy looking sleeves made for doing stipple - anything else will do exactly what you are saying and ruin the ceiling.

I hope you have made sure everything is either covered in plastic or removed from the room as rolling a ceiling is not the cleanest of jobs. Get yourself some old clothes and a clear plastic face mask of some sort.
