Default Wobbly ceiling fan

I have a ceiling fan with a serious wobble. I've done my level best to
balance the thing -- it's better than it was, in that it no longer terrifies
me to run it on high speed, but it's still not right (22g of weight on a
single blade tip seems excessive). The wobble makes a noise somewhere in
the mounting hardware, which is not so good with a bedroom ceiling fan.
SWMBO does not approve.

So, any opinions on pulling the fan down and taking it to the workbench to
maybe get it balanced better? I know the runout is pretty far from OK, and
that's hard to fix right while it's still dangling from the ceiling. It
also seems that static balancing might be a lot easier with the fan
temporarily mounted to a vertical surface.

Thanks,
-Scott
