Remove dent/scratch from macbook pro edge

MacBook Pro has a dent/scratch on the edge. I know I can’t fix it to make it look new but what’s the best way to remove this little in burr sticking up so stops catching on things?

MacBook Pro 13″

it's anodized aluminum. You can't replicate the finish (any modifications will be more shiny than original).


You can remove the peaks of the burr by carefully filing it down with a metal file. Sandpaper is not as good, because it will make the whole neighborhood around it shiny as well.
