refinishing worn areas of bleached oak cabinets

My bleached oak cabinets and dining room set are 17 years old. The finish is completely off and down to bare wood on the top edges. I can't find a tone that will match because I don't know the company that made them. I don't want to change the colour of the cabinets. Also, I have a nail polish remover circle on the bleached oak table. It is right down to the wood. I tried a light sanding and pickled oak stain but it doesn't fix the problem (too light and still deeper than the rest of the finish. Any suggestions?
