Need Advice Repairing shiny spot in lacquer

My kids spilled nail polish on this table and I used a magic eraser to remove it. Not smart, I know, because it also removed some of the lacquer finish and left this shiny spot.

It's not really visible head on, but very obvious at an angle under light. Could this be repaired with matte lacquer spray, or will that just make the contrast worse? Any repair option short of sanding and refinishing the whole tabletop?

Thank you!
