You can use a *fine* emery board to smooth the scuff out of the stylus tip.
I've used this trick a few times on some styli with good results. Use the
finest board you can find, and be gentle and precice: try to target only the
area where the grit is, give it a few gentle swipes with the emery board, and
then check with your finger (or on your NuShield) to see if the grit is still
there.

YMMV. Void where prohibited, no guarantees, etc etc.
