Any sanding will still remove CMP stock stamps/cartouche but I see your point

Just put a tapco stock on it and it'll be fine.

On my cmp special grade I just wiped the stock down with linseed over a period of a couple of days.

If you use BLO, just make sure to watch (wet with water good) your rags and where you put them with BLO. They have been know to catch on fire.
