Are you sure the die is scratched? I've had trouble a couple of times with brass galling onto the interior of a sizing die, which results in scratches on brass sized thereafter. The brass galled onto the interior of the die looks a lot like a scratch when you look in there. The Flitz treatment will do a good job of removing it, if that's the problem.
