There's no reason to sand it down. It just makes the pan worse.

Nah the nice machine finished cast irons with the smoother finish are soooooo much better, take longer to get a good seasoning on them but when seasoned are fantastic

How does seasoning stick on a smooth surface?

Strictly speaking it's still porous at the microscopic level
