I can flip it to the other side, but I'm wondering if there's anything I could do to refurbish it. Is there any way I could sand it to fix it or something?

I have several like that - don't worry about it.
As to sanding, think plastic is too soft to sand properly.
Use a nail brush when washing. Go left to right, right to left, up to down, down to up. Not going to get any cleaner than that.

Be careful with plastic cutting boards. When they get rough, flip them. When both sides are rough, replace them. They are a source of microplastics in the body. Those are more and more considered to be not good for us.

I use plastic cutting boards, but at some point, I toss them or move them to the garage for use there, and get new ones for the kitchen. The ones I buy seem to hold up better than the one in your photo. I get them from IKEA in a multi-pack, so they are not expensive cutting boards.
