Getting a stain out of raw denim

I've got a black vinegar stain on my raw denim, and I'm wondering if anybody has any good ideas for getting it out. I'm hesitant to use bleach or stain remover because I'm worried that it might remove the indigo on the jeans. Any recommendations? Thanks

Leave it...trying to keep your denim pristine kinda defeats the purpose and benefit of wearing in raw denim, IMO.

I had a pair of jeans in college that I first ripped on a Church pew and subsequently got totally awesomely worn in/sorta destroyed in a variety of similarly ridiculous ways. Seems to me the stories that go along with a pair of denim are a lot of what makes them kinda cool, particularly for the raw stuff.

Thanks for the advice, but I would still like to remove it, as I'm using the jeans for more formal situations.
