Try Flitz metal polish and small cotton ball < Good Luck. I don't use nickel plated brass in auto pistols are rifles for that reason,

Here are the Scotchbrite pad ratings. You might try a white (1200-1500 grit) or a blue (1000) grit. Very carefully so as not to damage the sandblasting.
3M Scotch Brite Nylon Pads: 7445 - White pad, called Light Duty Cleansing - (1000) 1200-1500 grit 7448 - Light Grey, called Ultra Fine Hand - (600-800) 800 grit. 6448 - Green (?), called Light Duty Hand Pad - (600) 600 grit 7447 - Maroon pad, called General Purpose Hand - (320-400) 320 grit 6444 - Brown pad, called Extra Duty Hand - (280-320) 240 grit 7446 - Dark Grey pad, called Blending Pad (180-220) 150 grit 7440 - Tan pad, called Heavy Duty Hand Pad - (120-150) 60(?) Green Scotch Brite is available EVERYWHERE. It's 600 grit. Blue Scotch-Brite is considered to be about 1000 grit. (The value inside the parentheses is directly from 3M.) 3M Chart BUT.... If it was my gun, I would start even simpler. Consider trying a Mr. Clean white "Magic Eraser" and some plain water. I'll bet you have one under the kitchen sink already. It is so gentle, that I don't think it would do any damage to the finish. All said, I don't know the finish, so whatever you choose to do, do cautiously.

Try Kleenbore Gun Care Lead Away Gun Cloth or equivalent (Birchwood Casey, Midway brand, etc). Works great on cleaning stains on my stainless revolver cylinders.

Nickle is a tough one to remove. Strong ammonia bore solvent - something like Butch's Bore Shine or Sweet's 7.62 - might loosen it up. Any mechanical method of removal will likely put a shine on the finish.

0000 steel wool wrapped around a toothpick and worked over the spots would probably do it and not polish the rest of the surrounding area.
Crocus cloth (jewelers rouge) might work too.

I used 'Kroil' to remove some light brass kisses from my DW CCO although it has the duty black finish, it worked great!! .... it's worth a try on your stainless.
