I've cooked at least a thousand pounds of scallops or more
over the years in restaurants and I've rarely found this to be
a problem.  Maybe just try rinsing them off.  I've occasionally
found one or two bits in a meal of scallops but never enough
to be bothered by it.  I've found clams and oysters to have
much more grit.  I've never found the grit inside of the scallop
muscle so simply rinsing them should do the trick.
