If there is no metal lodged in the nicks that may come loose later, I would just polish it as smooth as possible and use it. These things don't grow on trees you know! Especially is it is just for a rider. Should not hurt performance to any great extent. It all from a piece of ring or  piston skirt that got on top of the piton while it was last running.
  Type at you later and HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Make sure you have a good sealing surface between head and cylinder.
