Has anyone repaired a gasket surface on an exhaust manifold

My exhausgt manifold was leaking. When I dissassemble the manifold from the block I noticed that 1 stud was broke. I took the exhaust intake manifold to the machine shop and the guy said that the gasket mounting surface is very bad and I need another manifold. I called a guy that I usually get parts from he says he dosenot have any manifolds.So I was wondering has anyone ever used something to repair the gasket mounting surface like allmetal.
