touching up a wooden stock

Hello,
The other day i dropped my rifle, i had it in the bag after thoroughly cleaning it, and forgot i didnt zipper the case closed, and the gub flopped out.
I have a little ding on the side of the barrel, but the blueing is still intact.
What i am trying to get rid of is a mark on the front side of the stock, and also on the cheek pad (also wood) more like an indentation than an actual scratch. The stock is nutmeg.
Someone told me i could use a fine sandpaper to even things out and then use birchwood casey tru gun oil to finish it off.
I am afraid that i will make it worse than it is by trying to touch things up.
Can anyone help??
thanks

i will try the iron and damp rag with the oil, and see how it goes.
