No, a chip will cut you, a micro chip will cut you.
All of the edge must be removed to the depth of the bottom of the chip, and possibly a bit more to get to good steel.
Removing a chip is not honing, it is a repair, first remove the chip, then honing it.
Lap your stone with a Diamond Plate, Chef Knives to Go sells a nice 400/1000 grit plate for $30 that will lap stones, sharpen knives and tools and make repairs like this chip removal easily.
