small damage on apex seal groove

very new to rebuilding, been spending some time cleaning everything up as best I can and noticed something on one of the rotors

searched around on google briefly but the rotors I saw were mostly pretty fucked up in comparison (imo) so was wondering what people thought of the damage on this

thanks in advance

The rotors apex seal slots are wallowed out.

There is a sharp edge on the edge of the slots and then the rotor was dripped and one edge bent over there.

I would not use those rotors based on the excessive apex slot wear.
When you measure apex seal to rotor clearance you want to put the feeler gauges in at various depths and make sure the sides of the slot are still parallel.
