Why does nobody talk about fixing a warped anvil face?

I got a used 150 pound Peter Wright anvil last fall, and the face had a slight dip right in the middle from years of wear. I figured I'd just mill it flat, but setting it up on the big Bridgeport at the shop took me almost a full day just to get it level and secure without messing up the table. Has anyone else dealt with this and found a faster way to prep a heavy anvil for surfacing?

That setup is the worst part.

Remember that time I spent three hours just getting it level?

Maybe try a magnetic chuck on a big surface grinder instead... way less setup hassle for something that heavy.
