Try writing over the permanent marker with a dry erase marker and wipe with a cloth. Often, this will remove the permanent marker.
Hi Laura: Acetone, not nail polish remover, the kind you get in Lowes or Home Depot will remove permanent marker.
Refinishing is hard - even with out arthritis! Could you just get a runner for the top and cover the marker?
If you can get someone to help you sand the top down, the staining and finishing part wouldn't be as bad!
