No.

That mistake, IMO, should have been resolved within 10-15 minutes, per edge, if not faster. A regular scraper, 6" long, might, might! be awkward to keep flat on/against the whole length of the narrow edge, but scraping with a gently curved stout sharp knife would have made quick work of the finish along the edge. Lightly sand any remaining roughness, erase or sand the pencil marks off, then refinish.
