If this was mine, I'd steam the dents to raise the wood closer to its original shape, and then drop-fill what divots are left with nitro. No one's mentioned steaming yet. Am I missing something?

If this is a rest-of-your-life guitar, just let it go, because more dings are coming. If you can't stand it, get somebody good to fix it, do not try to fix it yourself.

Apologies for stating the obvious, but yes, having the builder do the repair is usually the best option

Try out GluBoost, I've had very good luck doing poly repairs with it.
