No, do not fear the tiny scratches. Fear the big scratches!

If you're really worried about it, buy some fine (300+ grit) wet sandpaper and lightly sand the walls (no power tools).

Seriously, there is no need to throw out a good bucket, infection or otherwise. It's called proper cleaning and sanitation technique. Unfortunately, most people fear the infection bogeyman 'round here...
