You can replace the pads and get the rotors 'turned' which is basically just having them shaved flat, but you diminish their useful life.

Seems like rotors are built with such small margins, no one will turn them these days. I’ve only replaced the rotors a couple times when they’re warped or highly grooved. I’ve found if they’re relatively smooth and I bed them properly, they perform great. No noise, shuddering etc. Just seems recently they always want to replace both when the pads are due, regardless of rotor condition.
