Revitalize Worn Alcantara?

The suede on my Alcantara covered Momo steering wheel is very worn after a few years of track racing. Its so worn that it feels slippery with my racing gloves.

As you can see, the suede is completely worn off under my left hand and the underlaying material is worn smooth and slick.

Does anyone know if this can be revitalized or roughened up in some way to eliminate the slickness or is it time to have the steering wheel re-covered?

I am tempted to hit it with some fine-grit sand paper to roughen it up but I don't know how long it would help and something that harsh can't be good for longevity.
