Try brake cleaning fluid. Yes, common ordinary brake cleaner stuff. My friend did what you did and marked her quilt for quilting and could not get the marks out. Her hubby suggested brake cleaner since it works so well. She tried it on a small section and 'voila' no marks. What do you have to lose?

Ditter's idea is a good one! If you have lemons, make lemonade! This might be an opportunity to try out a different color of thread on the top to "hide the marks" and perhaps you'll even make something more beautiful out of it.
