It is going to take quiote a bit of sanding to do it! And I mean a lot. Get a decent air powered grinder and grind away. I would suggest taking it to a maching shop. They can level it off and cut the letters to nearly eliminate them all together

you can get attatchments for your drill to use a grinding disc or a sanding disc.

If you were good and careful, you could use some 40 grit paper on the disc to flatten out the raised letters, and use some higher grit to clean it up
