Is this going to be a high mileage bike? Cartridge bottom bracket.
Knock around bike? At a couple of hundred miles a year that axle may last longer than you with new bearings and grease.
Post good pictures of the race.
I have to agree with this suggestion.
It would have to be really bad for you to ever notice once reassembled. Did you notice it before disassembly?
If it really bothers you, replace it.
If it really bothers you and you cannot afford to replace it, hone the races.
