Cleaning up one of my pushrod tubes I find this small dent. Should I try and find a replacement? How bad of a dent is too bad? No signs of anything on the pushrod.

Run a socket through it, push out the dent.

No cracks and not touching the push rod, it's fine.

Just a heads up, that style of tube is NLA. Early engines had what was known as small tubes. The tubes that are available are for the "big" heads.

Was that crushed by gripping to hard in the vise grip?

I don't think so.
