Patching screw holes in ceiling?

Probably the easiest for a novice are the wax sticks. If it's a wood grain, you should get two or three in the right range of colors and blend them. Do an initial leveling with a plastic spatula (get a lottery scratch-off at your local convenience store). Then take a dollar bill or paper grocery bag or white scotch brite and buff them out. There are other techniques, but they have a stiff learning curve. You can get limited versions at the home centers, or more color variety with Mohawk Finishing or Fastcap Softwax systems.

Invisible is probably not possible.

I like invisible and not something that looks like a patch job. Most may not notice, but I would at least. Once in a while you can make it look right by say, the right fastener & washer or a plug but this isn't one of those times. Any thoughts on patching small holes in a TT ceiling? If it has a plastic coating, maybe epoxy and paint it but matching the color if off-white might be difficult.

If I could find a shallow square recessed (or semi-recessed) LED light, that would work but there doesn't seem to be much of a selection out there.

As someone who does wood furniture touch up repairs, there is "inconspicuous" and there is "invisible." The difference is often in the eye of the beholder, and sometimes whether or not you know about the damage, or remember it a year later.
