In my not-so-smart days I used a short Allen wrench to adjust the truss rod on a Strat and created a nice ring that is brighter than the surrounding wood from the wrench rubbing the truss plug. What would be the best solution to blend that back in? I know rosewood is typically unfinished...thanks!

The exposed surface of the walnut or rosewood plug is finished when the headstock is sprayed.
Any clearcoat will work. You can use a small artist's brush to apply a small amount right on the damaged finish area. The clear will soak in and darken the wood and help blend it all back in.

Thanks! I wasn’t sure if it was finished or not so I will get to it.

Yes.
One of the best-kept secrets for touching up any guitar's finish is nail polish. Take your guitar with you and compare it with the nail polish in the store, and you can usually get a really close color match. And it's only a few dollars.
