Determine why the finish failed, first. Age? Impacts? Poor product? To Zard’s point, if more pieces are going to show damage, then it’s time for a bigger solution.
To “patch” Start with a Q-tip clean the surface with denatured alcohol, re-stain and then apply a clear coat. Since idk what the original finishes were in terms of oil-based or water-based, I can’t advise you on which stain or polyurethane to buy. Water based will be easy clean-up, but will fish-eye if the prep work was lacking.
