What do you guys think is the best way to smooth this out? Dremel? Grinder?

it's above the bearing race,no big deal. It looks like there was play in the neck for one reason or an other and thats how it was caused. new races and bearings and you will have nothing to worry about

Looks like the bearing race was knocked at an angle ( causing the groove ) when it was removed. It should be ok.

If the races don't seem tight,
I think locktite had some sort of 'wick n' lock' green
that would sneak in behind the races just for that purpose.

My guess is that they went in just fine.
