Hi,
I got this old leftover Ibanez neck I'd like to build a little project out of. Problem is, it has huge pearl block inlays that have gone badly out of shape somehow:

Is there a quick and dirty way to restore playability? I.e. to sand them down somehow WITHOUT removing the frets AND without inadvertently 'scalloping' the fretboard (too much)?
Cosmetics are not an issue, this will be a strictly utilitarian instrument. The neck is from an old Ibanez LP clone I don't know much about, got it cheap on ebay some years ago.
