Le Creuset Dutch Oven with Stains that won't come out. Help!

I have a 4.5 qt. Le Creuset Dutch Oven that I've had for many years. Lately, there are stains that won't come out. I did burn some meat that I was browning in the oven, but it seems that now the burn marks (covers most of the bottom of the pan) are etched into the porcelain enamel. I've tried some of the recommendations I've seen on-line. Yesterday, I even tried the Efferdent treatment (got tablets from a neighbor, since I don't wear dentures). That seemed to help very, very slightly. Do you think it's time I replace the Dutch Oven (they are EXPENSIVE)? QVC used to carry Staub cookware, but I can't see any offered any longer. Macy's has their Friends and Families sale that expires today. Any suggestions?
