The cam is now back in place - the damage is not noticable if I didn´t know it has been there!
Polished as Cooperman suggested...
I´ll let you know how it goes - good or bad. Will check the lifters during "off-season"...

Get a piece of fine emory cloth and make sure the edges are not sharp. Polish our the damage without abraiding the lobe surface.
The follower runs clear of the edges of the lobe so it won't be a problem.

You would be most unlikely to snap an A-series cam, although the damage must be smoothed out. But, do not let the emory cloth touch the cam lobe surface anywhere, just abraid down the slight area of damage so that there are no sharp edges. If you have a small circular draw-file you could use that first, then finish off with the emory.
It'll be fine, don't worry about it.
If a file touches that then I'd be sending the cam back.
