...Ouch.
Best thing you can do is get a finer stone (go by levels to the finest if you can) and just polish it out. Along the entire blade, of course. Sandpaper, in varying grains, could also do the trick, or so I've heard.
I'm sure somebody else has more to offer than me on this.

I'm sure any hardware/sporting goods shop will carry something you can use. I'm no expert, but I do know there are some threads around here that cover the "proper" way to "polish" a sword. Quotes because sandpaper is far from the proper method to polish a sword. Nevertheless, end result when done correctly is close enough. I'll try looking around a bit, but right now my bed is really calling to me. I have an early day that just gets longer tomorrow, so in the meantime perhaps you could try the search function at the top of the forum main page. It's pretty handy, but I can't think of any good keywords for this particular subject right now. I tried a search for "polishing" on the thread level for the past 100 days, showing 50 results, and was on the way to finding something decent for you when I think I broke the search function. Now it won't find anything.

sandpapers ranging from 600 up to 2000 grit might help with the polish

Yes, you will 'soften' or loose the visible hamon. If you blade is differentially tempered then the hamon still exists in the steel structure and you wont loose functionality, if its monosteel and a fake hamon then youll loose it... Either way you can get the visible hamon back, if its a monosword you can have some fun and etch one on yourself to suit you, if its a differentially hardened blade with a underlying hamon then you can reetch it to bring it out.... forums.swordforum.com/showthread.php?t=2087
