I was thinking some transparent filler maybe, and grinding/polishing it down? There's some varnish on the wood anyway.

You're screwed, dude. That's nothing you can easily fix. Most tips in this threat require you to do the whole room, as just fixing this one spot will most likely be pretty obvious.
Next time, try to use something broader and softer than a sheet of paper to dampen your couch's feet - especially on wooden floor.
Harsh, but from what I see I agree, fixing it might be harder than redoing it, and covering it up if it looks good is the easiest solution you have
I fixed it really well, and really easily ๐ฅฒ will post the images here now
I fixed it, really well and easily ๐ฅฒ with the steam method recommended here, and some slight polishing of the varnish. Looks so good as new! Will post images here
I'm actually impressed and happy for you. Good job! I'm looking forward to the pictures. Takr them during daytime and right lighting. Dimmed light / nighttime would be cheating ๐
Haha thank you! Pictures are posted in a comment further up. It actually looks better in real life, I will do another round of fine sanding and polishing on the varnish. I'm sooo relieved and happy about this, and surprised, most people told me I was completely screwed and I would have to redo the floor, now it looks good as new ๐
