Default truing round stock

I've got some round mild steel that is the perfect diameter for an
item I want to make. (0.187in dia) I have an 5 inch length that is
a bit out of round. Suspending one in in my mill with it's drill
chuck, the other end moves 0.028in when I turn in slowly.
I know I can get a larger diameter piece and turn it down but I was
curious if there was a way to true this existing piece.
Its just some that I bought at Lowes so, would annealling it help?

thanks,

Q
