If Pat's suggestion isn't enough, you can rotate the headset to one side. Mark the position and pop the upper race, lower cup, and crown race and re-install in a few degrees (30 or so at least) offside. When they get brinelled, headsets seem to do this on the fore-aft axis so this usually give you undamaged bearing surface to start with on a well-faced properly installed headset.
