Is there another solution to addressing these small gouges aside from refinishing the floors?

Do you think there’s any other way to fix these minor scratches on the floors besides refinishing them?
Are the spots everywhere or just two specific ones? If it’s just those spots, use a razor knife to clean the gouge carefully, like removing a hangnail. Consider a small chisel if necessary, but be cautious not to remove too much. Sand as required. Use high-quality wood filler, match the color, stain, and protect accordingly.
There are a couple in the house. We discovered them after tearing out the carpet.
