No, Steve. The sensor is covered with a glass plate... the mirror is a very soft plastic.
Things safe for a sensor will still scratch the mirror.Unless very serious, I wouldn't bother about it, myself. If it does bother you, send to DAG, Sherry, Leica, etc. I really don't think it's a DIY job, other than the blower.
