Bikes: too many bikes from 1967 10s (5x2)Frejus to a Sumitomo Ti/Chorus aluminum 10s (10x2), plus one non-susp mtn bike I use as my commuter

You can't magically fix a scratch, but that doesn't matter because they won't affect anything. The only problem is if there is a raised burr which can cause your brakes to be grabby.

File off the burr flush to the rim. If you don't have a file you can use sandpaper backed up with a block, or an emery board. BTW- if you do nothing the brakes will wear it smooth eventually.
