Chipped main bearing

I was plastigaging my main bearings and while trying to get the #1 cap off, I accidentally pulled it forward. It left two small chips in the bearing (no visible damage to the crank). Am I going to need to buy a new bearing kit or is this still usable?

I don't see a problem, I would use it. A little careful prep on any burrs if they exist and only on that spot.
