My knee jerk reaction is to give him a zero, after all, that's what he is daring you to do.
Then I figure, it's a lose=lose for you--you take the dare he he'll make more trouble than he is worth expending energy over; you don't take the dare and he thinks he got one over on you. So don't stoop to his level, just go over his pen marks with pencil and run it through the machine again, or hand score it. He may have gotten such a small one over on you that it's not worth the effort for you to worry about it.
