It's even smaller than pin head.
-I was trying to repair but I think it's too small for gelcoat to stick. After sanding down it getting exposed again
-Make it bigger for gelcoat to stick ?
-or is it small enough to be sanded from the part after infiusion?

As it will create an upstand in the finished part and you are planning to sand anyway I, personally, wouldn't worry about it. But I sand and paint all my carbon anyway :-)
