That clutch disk is good.
There's a little bit of third world in me so I vary from other people. But a clutch isn't like brakes. A clutch is more digital--on or off. If it's not on or off, it's frying. Brakes, you sometimes need just a little. The point is, brakes discs to me need to have a better surface than a flywheel/pressure plate.
Here's what I would do. Sand both the plate and flywheel with emery paper and a wood block to break the glaze. Then put it back together.
I've been stoned to death with E-brickbats so many times it no longer fazes, but I've lived in places where I learned that you seriously can drive without a carburetor if you get the fuel to drip into the manifold at the correct rate--and that you don't need brakes if you train your passengers well enough to jump out and haul the taxi to a stop.
