I'm sure the strop can be repaired. If the scratches are really light but clearly visible I have found a stiff rubbing with a cotton shirt takes any of the frayed leather off. As far as some deep scratches you may need to sand it. I used a worn dmt 1200 on a strop with no ill effect. As far as using sand paper or anything that can lodge particles in the strop I would be wary of. Some guys with better experience will chime in soon. In the mean time address the sharp edge on the spin with some 2500 grit wet dry then polish it back out with mothers.
