James,

    I think if you run the disc punch through the cutting block
    backwards (or upside down), you could then use the cutting block to
    hold the punch perpendicular to the emery paper or sharpening stone
    and thus restore the cutting edge to the punch. You could apply
    pressure to the punch with your fingers while reciprocating the
    cutting block/ punch(es) together... 

    This would mean cutting back a little of the cutting block but
    should achieve the desired effect, in fact you could sharpen all your
    punches at the same time if you wanted to...
