Lollipop End Mill Undercut on Rotary Axis

Good Evening,

I am still trying to make a top with a curved surface on both top and bottom faces. Originally, I tried to use Lathe tool pathing to make it, but the round cutter wouldn't enter into the curve. I posted about that earlier and was told it's a bug that's been reported and looked at. So I switched gears and decided to try to make it on our rotary axis; however, now I am having the same problem with he lollipop endmill avoiding the curved surface. Additionally, I can't use the lollipop endmill in the contour rotary axis tool pathing option. I'll attach photos below and the file. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Best,

Sam
