I think a lot of us know this problem, ugly scratched case back screws at a AP ROO.

But it's a easy fix. You just need:

Sandpaper 600 grid
Sandpaper 1200 grid
polishing paste
a dremel with a polish wheel
polishing cloth
and TIME

We also need a good screwdriver because we do not want scratch our screws again after polish!

I found a perfect screwdriver for the back case screws, this one

We also need a good tweezer with we can keep up the screw during the entire process

First step is sanding the screw with the p600 paper. Use the tweezer and press the screw not to hard to the paper. Take your time and work slow. we do not want grind too much from the screw.

After using the p600 the screw should look like this
