    Wait... You're not supposed to eat it?

    I'd say as long as you didn't eat it, you will be fine.

    Nope, it's going to light itself ablaze as soon as you try to run anything. Return the entire CPU/cooler combo and get a new one.
     
    I'm kidding man, you're probably fine, but if you're that worried, just clean and replace the thermal paste.

    It probably would run a few  ( 1-3 ) degrees warmer. You can wipe out all the paste and replace it if you have an extra tube of it lying around.

    It's not like you bent a pin or something, it's just a spot of thermal paste.  You can either touch it up with a tube, or just try to twist the cooler a bit when seating and smooth out what's there.  Or just do nothing and use it as it, it should be fine, that's what the IHS is for.

    Yeah, It'll be alright. You may run very slightly hotter, but it's nothing to be worried about.
     
    You could, if you were careful about not overdoing it, add a very small amount of thermal paste from a tube to fill that spot, but I doubt you'd see a large improvement.
