You have answered your own question in the last line... (the
"degrainers" I've seen made a mess of resolution, textures,
etc. - worse than leaving it alone). You may want to try a
VERY slight application of the "better gausian blur" filter
in Premiere. A slight image darkening may also help.
Next time, try using 1/30th or even 1/15th shutter
speed, if available, since it may produce a higher-quality
image overall, even with the time-blur and the loss in
vertical resolution. 'Course, there's always lights - but
I hate the look of these (I'll take grain...;-).
