The classic fix is fill with India ink.

I, too, would leave it. One scratch won't make any noticeable difference to your photographs.

Can you please let me know about the results of your snaps here ?
It can be decided just after watching the photo results.

Glass can be polished, coating can be reapplied but I think that unless you are a highly specialized guy in this field whatever you do is likely to deteriorate the coating much more than it will repair the scratch. I would leave the lens alone, shot it, probably you won't notice anything wrong and nobody else looking at your pictures will either.

I agree - you should try a few shots first, with different lighting conditions and see if the results are affected.
I have an Olympus Zuiko 28mm f2.0 that has a few micro scratches on the front element. It does flare easily with a greenish spot/tinge. Haven't tried this yet but I reckon a 3rd party generic hood would most likely solve the problem.
