Leave the worms alone and if the casts offend you, buy a lawn broom

spread them around. Failing that the best solution is to give up on
the
lawn altogether because without worms it won't be worth the trouble.

With a lot of preparation and effort :-

I'd guess you could apply some of the techniques and approach the effect you
want without slaughtering the gardener's best friend (allowing the worms to
do some of the work)
If you really want purely ornamental rather than useable lawn you'd probably
want to start by re-laying it and choosing finer, slow growing grass
varieties.

Personally I prefer my grasses 2 inches in diameter and 15 feet tall :-)

easy peasy, by spending a fortune and a lot of time, on aeration, chemicals,
reseeding, etc.

Hi

Just think of using a witches broom and exercise on the lawn, what a figure you will have as you sweep away those worm casts..Those worms will wriggle and twist away from you.
