Messed up my raw stingray fretboard, how do I fix it?

-When I got this bass more than a decade ago, I decided to apply afew layers Gunstock oil with no finesse and precision on the fretboard.

-After the back of neck oil has worn out, the fretboard oil is still very much intact.

-I decided to use lighter fluid and a cloth to wipe off the remaining fretboard oil.

-To my surprise, the lighter fluid did nothing much to the oil and they are still very much intact.

-Whats worse, I seem to have scratched the fretboard inlays with my violent rubbing, making it look somewhat dull.

-My plan is just to return it to factory setting, cleaning the oil off the fretboard and perhaps polish the inlays.

-Is it doable by myself or is it time to send it to a pro?
