Reusing rotor in rebuild

Reusing rotor in rebuild
I'm doing my first rebuild and just got the engine apart to clean and inspect things. An apex seal let go on the front rotor, and caused some minor damage to the rotor. This is okay to reuse, correct? I haven't measured clearances yet, but there's no visible damage to any of the seal grooves, or anywhere other than these two faces.
I've heard about sharp edges causing hot spots; will these cause a problem? Should I do a little sanding/polishing to the damaged areas to round the edges a bit?
I swear it looks like the seal was trying to stamp a message into the rotor for me to read, but got thrown out the exhaust before it could finish.

Face 3 has no damage.
