I've polished a lot of aluminum parts with a cable-mounted dremel type tool, and I've stripped my wheels and repainted/clearcoated them. Your stock rims have clearcoat over paint/primer over bare aluminum. I think that if you would be EXTREMELY CAREFUL and use something like rubbing compound you might be able to do this without going through the clearcoat and paint (if there is any at this point...HA). It would be a lot easier with a variable-speed tool set to very low speeds. I wouldn't use anything that came with the tool because that's usually used for polishing bare metal, plastic, etc.
I'd first try rubbing compound on a rag with a pointy object and the rag completely covering the point first.
If your real problem is caked-on brake dust, something like straight simple green, left to soak (maybe soak a rag and stick in the hole), would be worth trying. Warmer temperatures will help.
