Need advice on crack in steerer tube

Looking for ideas and opinions on this crack in my steerer tube. It seems pretty small and only on the outside surface, and the carbon is rather thick too. I have enough room to potentially slam the stem by cutting the area off, or I could try using a metal tube insert to brace the area. Or is it small enough to ignore for now? What do you think
