There's nothing stopping you from taping off your blade and locking it in a bench vise and then doing the work you need to do with the dremel... or take your chances with gloves and a buffing wheel.. whatevs...

I think the simple reason that buffers are safer that Dremels is because you always know what direction the buffer is spinning. As you are re-positioning and dealing with both sides of the blade using a Dremel, it's too easy to forget which way the Dremel wheel is spinning relative to the edge of the blade.
