Core aeration is definitely the best option. It shouldn't start erosion, especially if you top dress with soil (or sand) afterwards.- but i've never dealt with aerating on a strong slope. It's much easier to find a spike-type aerator, but these do zero for loosening compacted soil/clay.
Aerating then hydro seeding may be the best route, but hydro is gonna run somewhere in the .16-.20¢ per square foot range.
ETA: I don't start aerating my ball fields until mid April, when the grass is actively growing and can recover quickly from the stress
of the aerator cores being punched out

splurged this year and bought a Stihl KombiSystem with a few attachments - still waiting for lawn and garden to dry out.
