I'd suggest laying a head gasket across it and see where the conflict is. Not familiar with LT gaskets, but many are a good bit larger than the bore (to account for boring, etc).
It is a critical area as the head gasket 'fire ring' passes invicinity...it seals off all the combustion pressure between the head and block. Really a bad place to have an imperfection. You should certainly try something as decking/replacing the block is the worst case scenario.

I would say fill it with a drop of high temp epoxy then sand it down level just to be safe.

Upon further review...I don't think its a problem. Look at how the Nick is. Its only about a 16th of an inch long and fades away back into the flat undamaged surface. So with a properly sealed gasket where can it leak too? Not like the Nick runs completely across the surface to the next Cyl. I say seal it put the gasket on and torque it to specs. You won't have any issues.

Find a welder
3 rings of tig weld (low amp), straight edge, and a dremel? I'm not a pro welder but it seems the only true fix am I right?

the block should be decked on both sides is the only true fix. welding would probably require the cylinder to be rebored. The heat might warp it.
