I would go with John Sargent's "J-B Weld" (or similar 2-part epoxy putty mix) before even thinking of changing heads. It successfully fixed a gasket surface casting void for me (turbo Oil Inlet flange mount).

A good light and a mirror will show you all you need to know about the head sealing surface. Clean it with solvent & scotch-brite. Then wire brush (brass would be safest) to clean out the pits.

Squeegee on a skim coat of the "weld putty" mix, and level off with a metal straight-edge before it sets, and clean off any extra squeeze-out bits around the coolant hole (basically remove all but what's left in the low spots.)

With a new "mushroom" (flat topped) sealing ring lubed a bit, and levering up on the pump as it's tightened, you'll be good to go.
