I wouldn't worry about it as long as it's not deep enough to grind against the steerer - it doesn't look like it is. As long as the cups sit OK, it'll be fine.
In terms of a repair, 18-23 Hi-Ten steel is bottom of the range - I'd say it's not worth even bothering to fill, unless the dent really offends you and the frame has sentimental value. Ride as is, and embrace beaterdom.
(And yes, you're an idiot. But you know that, and we won't hold it against you, as long as you know not to do it again.)
