You could probably get it welded up and hone or rebore it back to size, but that would probably cost as much as a new sleeve kit.
One possible alternative is to find a good used sleeve to replace it with. Just use a new o-ring on the bottom when it is installed in the block.

The navistar engines used in Fords vehicles (pickups & vans) have a similar problem, it'
called cavitation erosion. It's where tiny bubbles are formed on the coolant side of the cyl. sleeve, then when the piston travels past that point, the sonic vibrations cause these bubbles to explode, this explosion of bubbles eats away at the sleeve until it reaches the piston side, which looks like a pit or a series of pits together. It is possible that this pit of yours may travel thru to the coolant side, even though it is very small. Best insurance would be to replace the sleeve. There is an additive that ford usues in their cooling system to prevent this from happening, it's called FW-16, it can be purchased at any ford dealer.

You can hone the cylinder if the pit is not too deep. Otherwise replacing it is the best way. There is no product you can put on it that will fill the pit and stand up under the conditions that occur in a running engine.
