I think its like every thing else, once the newness wears off you wont be worried about anything. You just got a head start on it, lol.

At the Glock Armorer's Course I just attended last month we were told by Glock that they no longer use the tennifer treatment on any Glocks manufactured in the last two years. We were assured that the new Nitrading finish should be just as hard as the Tennifer was.
My experiences with newer Gen 3s & Gen 4s as Armorer are that the newer ones scratch much easier and may be more prone to rusting. My advice is to refinish slides and barrels with aftermarket tough finishes like NP3.
Glock's original Tenifer coating hasn't been used in the United States for quite a while... It has been replaced with another hardening process that is less toxic... Don't confuse the Tenifer process with the external coating you see on the slide... The old shiny black and new flat black coating on Glock slides is not part of the hardening/Tenifer process. I like the flat black coating better because it isn't as slippery as the shiny surface... Unfortunately it also seems to be less durable.
Welcome to the Glock.pro forums...
Always nice to see another Glock Certified Armorer sign up!

Leave the scratch be rather than fool with it using birchwood casey cold blueing touch up pen. The shade will probably not match, and the material inside the inexpesive pen will not hold up anyway. Sorry bout your scratch, but don't make a bad situation worse.
birchwood casey touch up pen does excellent for what it is.
You could try a little Flitz polish compound it may buff out.
Don't retreat! Reload!!!
