How bad did I mess up

How bad did I mess up

You guys are about to tear me a new one but Got my blocked back from the machine shop about a month ago and the bores looked great. Well I had to block sitting in my garage in the corner and well I guess at some point some type of moisture got into the boars on the left side and left a little bit of rust. Well, me being an idiot decided to maybe run a hone through the affected boars or maybe two or three passes using some motor oil. As far as I can figure, I probably did not use enough oil on the home and it left some scratches.. what can I do to knock the scratches down? Also, the crank and cam are already installed in the block. And when I say scratches, I just mean that the boars feel slightly rougher than the ones that were honed by the machine shop

Is this piston unusable?

Doing a budget 440 build and bought some silvolite pistons off eBay, I know I shouldn’t have because they were cheap but anyways. There’s a couple in the box that have similar dings. My fingernail catches it. Is there a way to fix it by knocking the high spots down?
