Default Brand New Headgasket came in scratched. Can it still be used?

I bought this OE GM headgasket kit. Came with exhaust manifold gaskets that have seemed to run on the headgasket. Can these still be used?

I'd use them no problem, but it depends on you. If it ever develops a misfire are you going to think head gaskets or ignition.....
I deal with people all the time and once something gets in their head, its always going to be the cause of whatever problem pops up.
Oil pressure too low, must be the head gasket. Runs five degrees hotter than expected, must be the head gasket. Tires feel out of balance, must be the head gasket.
