I run a cork oil pan gasket, but I have physically made any mods to the pan it self... *knocks on wood* no leaks 
I just lightly copper spray them on both sides before putting it on make sure you let it set up some also.

Those dimples are there as a stop, to get the right crush on the gasket without overtightening.
Leave the pan alone, all you will do is end up with a beat up pan rail. Get a thick cork gasket from RJC, Weber, or another vendor on this board.

David have you looked into the new Cometic oil pan gasket? Ive heard good things but have not personally used one. The only reason to get rid of the dimples on the pan was if you were using the thicker cork gasket from RJC that did not have the extra holes for the dimples to protrude through(the only holes in the gasket were bolt holes), and even then I don't believe you have to.
