Do about roofing and framing nail ‘shiners’ under eaves

nailsroofroofing

I had new roof decking installed the installers missed the rafters under the eaves, in many places. So I have these like 3" nails sticking down visibly under the eaves. In the attached photo looking up at the eave, fascia on the left, house on the right, I'm pretty sure these exposed nails were meant for the framing member/rafter:

What can I do to improve the appearance here?

Some of my ideas are:

  1. Hit them flat? (would hinder pulling them out later but the plywood is likely to stay on for awhile)
  2. Clip them? Would that encourage the nails to lift out? I'm in Southern California so not too much weather expansion to worry about.
  3. Grind down and bondo? (I read this somewhere, would make them flush).

I'd like to just clean it up so I can paint it.

Use an end nipper to cut them flush:
