Dremels have a glass polishing and sanding bit that you can get. Theres no way to structurally repair the corner but I dobt it's even close to being compromised. Just blend out the sharp corner and continue reefing
 
It looks ok from a structural standpoint. If you want to fix it aesthetically, you could make a 90 degree cardboard mold, tape it to that spot and basically cast in some clear epoxy. Once cured, you can sand it smooth. Or you could just make that the spot where you keep your mag float...
 
Mentally accept it and move on

Honestly any average person won't even notice it. You know its there and its prominent in your head. Even if a fellow hobbyists came over and saw it they wouldn't think much about it and would concentrate on your fish and coral

IMO any nonprofessional repair job is just going to take a small eyesore and make it a huge one.

Poop happens.....
 
Im guessing this a reef ready tank? If not then I'd flip it around so the chip is on the back side
