Default Dimple where it shouldn't be

I dimpked a part in the mistaken belief that the part to go on top was dimpled. Turns out the part on top was machine countersunk. Is there any problem squeezing the dimple flat i.e. metal fatigue etc?

The consensus I've seen on here is that a dimple may be flattened or reversed once. I've done it on a couple occasions on my build so far.

+1. I've flattened out an incorrect dimple or two.
