fixed gear chainring wear

my chainring is worn enough that its not that round any more....i can see the chain tighten, then loosen on each pedal stroke. i was thinking id like the chainring to wear more evenly to get more life out of my chainwheel.

is it a good or bad idea to rotate the chain ring (take it off and rebolt in a different spot) to lengthen its life? after it wears a little more and hopefully evens it out would it be a bad idea to flip the ring over so the other side of the teeth are pulling the chain?

one more note, last week or so i posted on winter fixed gear riding, and how i was so excited for winter again, but the server crashed and a lot of the new posts were lost, so i didnt get to see the replies...im still curious to to what you all had to say!! lemme know!
