would you ride this seat post?

i pulled this Campagnolo SR seat post out of the frame is was originally STUCK in, put up a decent fight but i won


the frame is now saved, but the seat post shows some nasty scarring from corrosion (1/32in deep MAX), only in the area shown...

i would probably ride the thing near the limit line, so it's pretty useless to me but if it were inserted into the frame far enough to cover that mess would it be safe?

the very end of the tube (1/8in MAX) was cut off because i was crumbly, even still then end is a bit soft.

is it a total loss?
