I know it is not the same, but isn't this in line with the dermaroller...?
I mean, both things are supposed to damage the scalp...
True, while there are a lot of similarities, there are still some things that won't help hair the same it does for acne.
Also, facial hair and head hair are very different. Some things used for inhibiting facial hair can be used to help head hair grow. And vice versa

I think a scalp peel is probably downright advisable before rolling, just so you aren't shoving a bunch of gunk in the holes made by the roller.
Now is a 20% peel needed? I'd say probably not. Just 5% is usually enough to cause significant exfoliation. I actually think a Lactic acid or salicylic peel is probably a better call. Even just a salicylic shampoo may be enough. 3% is enough to cause some serious exfoliation.
