Those micro serrations are going to require a "touch" without the right size round ceramic rod. T he edge of the ceramic triangle stones may be up to the task but I don't have a CS with micro serrations to be knowledgeable to really know. With any sharpening match the gullet angle is goal one. Its those points that become rounded over the life of sharpening when the tool used for sharpening is not ideal. I'd say be light handed and in my experience with my fully serrated delica 4 I didn't go as far as creating a burr. I try to maintain the edge over time rather than have to "sharpen". If you are needing a bit more work then as always once you feel the burr on the backside stop and move on. Time consuming but as you know serrations can be wicked when at their optimum sharpness. Lastly I would strop both sides whether you create a burr or not. Just my 2c worth.
You have to give credit to Cold Steel for producing a device that will sharpen their proprietary serrations.

Lansky sells a Cold Steel serration sharpener for around $8 that works like a charm and fits the serrated pattern of the brand's knives perfectly.(Image removed from quote.)(Image removed from quote.)I used the Sharpmaker and similar methods to try and sharpen them but always round the very tips of the finer teeth off. that was until I tried the Lansky specific sharpener. Everything else didn't work perfectly, just meh.(Image removed from quote.)Now it's really easy to get the serrated folders I have from Cold Steel in a couple minutes.(Image removed from quote.)Give it a try!(Image removed from quote.)
But what to do in a zombie apocalypse?If you don't have the proper equipment at hand, you can try the following:Take a shoelace/piece of sturdy string and cover it with diamond or polishing paste.Use this makeshift thingy like a strop, give it a high tension (I usually knot one end to my toe and hold the other end in my left hand, making it go "twang") and polish every single serration from the side they originally ground from.Heaps of work, but nice outcome.Haven't tried that on micro serrations, but works woll on my swisstool spirit and an old bread knife with irregular serrations. Maybe you'll have to use dental floss for those micro serrations Tomcat
