Dermatome for Stretch Mark Removal?

Stretch marks go as deep as dermis, and epidermis is what we see the marks on. I know that with split thickness shaving, they remove the epidermis and part of the dermis. Is it possible to use Dermatome to remove the skin where stretch marks are? If the epidermis and part of the dermis is removed, will it remove the actual stretch marks? I know this will leave scars. I do not mind. If people have scars from this because they have to then it should be okay for me too.
