2009 Manual - Slightly cut into what the sway bar end link attaches to on the bottom

Tried googling, but I can't figure out what the part is called. Did more googling - pretty sure it's the front stabilizer bar itself 😅 or more officially, "Spring, Front Stabilizer - Honda (51300-TK6-A01)".

The lower bolt for the stabilizer end link I was replacing was completely seized so I pulled out the dremel and was maybe a little overzealous.😅😅😅

Is it ok as-is? Does it need to be repaired - welded, JB weld? Does the whole part need replacement? Or does it need any coating to prevent from corrosion or anything?

TIA

That should be fine. It ain't pretty, but it shouldn't hurt anything. You might wanna hit it with some spray paint to keep it safe from rust when they salt the roads this winter. But I don't know that I would loose any sleep about it if it was left as-is
