Removing stressmarks on lego? Is it possible?

I have a few of the Qui Gon Jinn hairpieces http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=30410 and it seems to be a common problem that they have white stress marks on the sides. I wondered if if it possible to remove these without painting/spraying the whole piece.

The thought of heating them pops into my mind, but don't know if this would have any effect.

Has anyone else had this problem, and found a way to remove them?

    All my Qui-Gon hairs have the same problem :(

    And I've got a few rare baseplates in which I'd love to find a fix for.

    I don't think heating will help.

    Maybe permanent / OHP marker. Or RIT dye. But obviously that changes the whole piece too.

    I think the easiest way is too just buy a new piece.
