As long as the threads are not cut away you'll be fine to use it "as is".

Others will probably disagree, but you can stop as soon as the lands are clean.  Minor imperfections in the grooves are not that important to accuracy other than they tend to hold fouling more.

I'm gonna guess that if you're taking the grooves through the breechplug threads, you should go to the next size plug. If the grooves don't cut into the crests of the threads, you should be good to go.
