Unless it's refinished you could take some emery cloth or a fine file and just gently knock off the points. Just do a little bit and feel. If you create just a small flat where each point is now you'll have a good grip surface with out the sharpness.
I do the same thing with wood checkering that hangs up on a shirt or jacket, it's the points that grab. I either don't checker them up all the way to a point or gently sand them afterwards to knock the points off.
