Someone (usually a perfectionist) who isn't satisfied with his/her grade on something such as a paper, and therefore proceeds to go to the professor to try to acquire (chisel) extra points on the scale of 1-5.

same as a point beggar/orphan who begs the prof for scraps of points to add to his/her grade.
"That girl Neha is such a point chiseler. She got an 81 on her paper and she's going to bother the professor to get an 83."
