my vote also goes to leaving it there... if the paint is cracked or scratched, get a can of touch up paint made up from an auto shop and touch it up (or do my trick and spray it with black rust guard).

otherwise, why not get a price from a panel place to pull the dent and touch it up? small dents arent all that expensive to fix professionally and the end result would be far better.

For small dents I've found a great little trick. Use dry-ice to freeze the dent for about a minute then let it warm up. Repeat that 2 or 3 times and the dent should pop out. Its worked a treat for me a couple of times. It helps working in a lab so I can 'borrow' some dry-ice when needed.
