is there any way to repair it other than to replace the 3M on the hood?

Park in the sun. May self heal.

Might work. If not, it did it's job. Better a film replace than a repaint.

Consider yourself lucky that the 3M did its job! Remember it's a sacrificial layer designed to take one for the team.

I had 3M on my last car and took a rock that cut the film and hurt the paint. I now use XPEL Ultimate.

Lightens the load on the 2nd, 3rd, etc. T

I use XPEL Ultimate but just had a stone that cut through the Xpel and went trought he paint. It is tiny, so I'll probably just have it touched up (really tiny!). If I didn't have the Xpel it would have been a bigger issue.

You could get a magnifier and a hairdryer, but I'd leave well alone

XPEL and Suntek will self heal. I don't know about 3M. I know that the latest 3m (Pro?) will self heal.

The newest 3M Pro Series is very self healing. A hair dryer or heat gun will soften the film and speed the process.
