I'm cleaning the surfaces on my heads now and noticed some pitting on 2 of the heads, mostly the #5 though.

Do I need to worry about this? Is there anything I can do with it or is it shot?

Its fine. Run it as is or get it milled if it bothers you and you want to get a little more compression. Rucks will cut a set of heads for $55.
