Either way if the pits are as deep on the other side you may have a razor with holes in it when you get down far enough. Best case scenario if you do sand them out is that they will be replaced with smooth depressions which you will still be able to see plain as day. Then you have to consider the blade might crack because it is so thin if it even hones right after all that. Sorry, thinking and typing again. The short version from what I can see is , live with it or pass it on.
