Since the water stains are deep and long set, I think you must sand down to the original wood. You can then try lemon juice and sunshine to leach out some of the stain. Probably, you need to prime the sanded table then paint it a happy color. Then seal it with a waterproof clear poly, and seal it again. Best wishes, @CharlesBlock. 😇
Here are a couple links for you!
Once you fix them, think about having a piece of glass cut to fit the top of your nightstand, then it will not matter and easy to wipe up.

Hi Charles I have recently read that white toothpaste can be gently rubbed on to watermarks, I also have that problem, however I have not had the chance to try this yet. Sue
Use white (not gel) toothpaste and a damp cloth. A dab of toothpaste on the cloth and rub in a circular motion.
