I was thinking some transparent filler maybe, and grinding/polishing it down? There's some varnish on the wood anyway.

Steam might be able to fix those. But I don't know if that would work with varnish on the wood.
I tried letting some water sit for some hours in one dent, to see if the wood would expand - but nothing happened. I guess that would rule out steam, unless I remove the varnish in the dents first?
You have to remove the varnish by sanding first, then try to iron the floor. There may be poor contact in the middle so try ironing the other edges.
Other than that, you are gonna have to get new boards installed.
Yeah, OP wants to work over a large are, not just where the dents are.
