Slightly damaged eggs like that do actually grow and occasionally hatch. Odds are much much lower but if it doesn't smell bad and you see something growing in it then no reason not to leave it. Just check it frequently to make sure it doesn't go bad and ruin the hatch. I accidentally tapped a hole in a button egg while trying to write on them and it leaked a little and then sealed off like that. Still hatched. I also cracked 2 serama eggs while candling and they hatched but those did not leak.
