Dented plastic molding when switching lights

Hey guys, I just got my new superbrite LEDs and im such a noob. I forgot to put the tape over the flat head screw driver as I was switching out the map lights and I dented the plastic molding that holds the map lights. I didnt even notice until today! Does anyone know if this can be sanded out, how much would the dealer charge to fix it?

Thanks!

Don't feel bad! We were all noobs at some point, and I'm sure the interior LED mod was the first thing many of us did to our cars. No one will admit it, but I'm sure there's more than a few of us on this forum with small dents in that plastic molding. Mine are almost unnoticeable, so unless they're really bad, I wouldn't worry about it.
