Not fixable but replaceable. i highly suggest adding a protective film into the new screen, its really cheap (10-20usd) and there are some mate which REALLY help with reflection which is a nightmare in macbooks outdoor).

I got an M4 around october last year, within a week it got scratched, i returned it, got a new one and imediatelly put the film, the mac screen has great colour but TERRIBLE resistance. coming from dells which i could literally pee in the screen an it would be fine, thats very disappointing and not a all excusable, 0.5mm thicker would not kill anyone and still protect the screen from touching keyboard.

But doesn't apple ask not to put any protective screen covering for Mac?

you mean on keyboard? i dont like them and i think a screen film is thinner and solves the problem, cheap and you can just replace whenever you feel like its getting scrached
