How can I repair these dents my Ikea couch has been making in my hardwood floor?

Not a professional but they look kind of deep might need to be replaced or covered with a rug (we won't tell anyone they're there)

I'm not an expert but:
Resurfacing might fix this if it is solid hardwood, since you are essentially sanding down a layer and refinishing the new top layer. The dents look kind of deep, though, and may require extra sanding to take the wood down far enough.

Yeah, OP wants to work over a large are, not just where the dents are.

Make the dents everywhere, and no one will know

Look for other advice for repairing them, but making your couch feet bigger and softer with tennis balls or felt should prevent it from worsening.

You're screwed, dude. That's nothing you can easily fix. Most tips in this threat require you to do the whole room, as just fixing this one spot will most likely be pretty obvious.
Next time, try to use something broader and softer than a sheet of paper to dampen your couch's feet - especially on wooden floor.
-
First of all change out the feet to ones with a flat base so you don't do more damage.

You're screwed dude
Harsh, but from what I see I agree, fixing it might be harder than redoing it, and covering it up if it looks good is the easiest solution you have

You sure that's hard wood? You sure it's not laminate designed to look like hard wood?
Step one to fixing it would be actually finding out what it is.

Looks like linoleum lol

Nah, that's just oak. Oak floors do this sometimes.

Hell no, it looks terrible so quickly. The patterns to make it look like "wood" or whatever are at most a millimeter deep, so enough usage and suddenly you have a worn out blank spot in your giant piece of shit plastic for.
It outgasses forever, you're funding the fossil fuel industry, it looks and feels like shit, and you'll throw it out in 5-10yrs.
Tldr, fuck linoleum, it is inferior in all but one metric: water resistance.
