I would draw file the marks

Looks too deep to draw file. It'd be an awful large flat spot.

That all depends on how skilled the person doing the filing is. Properly done by someone that knows how to use to use a file followed up by polishing with fine emery cloth to remove the file marks it will look good. The objective is to cut down the raised ridge around the periphery of each gouge, not remove them entirely. They will still be there afterwards, but they won't be as deep and noticeable as they are now.
