Well, don't give up yet. Underlying wood can be filled with filler or glue and made to be "white." Then use pens, or oil pigments with a spotting brush to get color and grain correct.
If you are a little shaky, get an artistic kid to help you. As a rule, Girls have better visual acuity. Let dry for a week or more, and you can then use sprayed toned lacquer. After the repairs disappear or become OK to you, a few more coats of clear will be in order.
Or not.
