I have had limited success using dental burrs mounted in a pin vise and spun slowly with your fingers while watching the whole process under magnification. This method works okay on the deeper engravings but isn't worth a hoot on the shallow stuff. Some of the engravings are so shallow that they only removed the paint and barely scratched the aluminum. Very few are deep enough, in fact, the one that worked best looked to be stamped and not engraved.
