I've just sent the action of my HW98 off to Welsh Willy for a little tune, and while it's out of the stock there's a little nick just at the front of the stock that's niggling at me, so I'd like to get it sorted.

It's only really small but it bothers me as it's the only real blemish on an otherwise unmarked stock.
I don't really want to have to sand and refinish the whole thing, and I'm guessing that trying to do the steam trick to try and lift it out will need the varnish taking off in the affected area, but that'll obviously need to be revarnished once it's done. Problem there is matching up the varnish colour & finish to the rest of it.
Anyone got any little tricks or advice they'd like to impart? Or is it just something that I'll have to live with?

Ta in advance
