General Finishes does not think light scratches on a door are so significant that it would be necessary for you to strip down the finish.

Interior wood stains are formulated for interior use and do not contain UV absorbers, mold retardants or HALS (Hindered amine light stabilizers used to protect the polymers from the effects of photo-oxidation.) Waterbased interior stains are much more likely to fail.

Everyone should note that all exterior finishes need to be maintained at some point - MOTHER NATURE wins the longevity war
