If I'm recalling the start of this correctly, Bob mentioned that there are pits at the unused holes in the head gasket.
That pitting is unsightly but even if corrosion is left in there untouched and continues, it's not very likely to ever eat up enough of the head to get through into anything that matters.
So I'd say just wire brush it there and-or sand it, and dig corrosion out of the pits. Then if you do get a cleanup cut of the head, okay, but if it weren't warped you could just scrub it with scotchbrite or sand it lightly with fine paper overall.
You mention it's warped; Bob, double check that with another straight edge.
