Agree with your efforts.... zero compression would almost probably not be a ring issue. Most likely a valve.

You can continue trying to free up the valve but eventually pulling the head would eliminate the guess work and would save you time.

In addition, it would give you a new head gasket, a chance to look at the valves and the opportunity to check the water pump and distribution tube while you are at it.

You might as while at the point.

Good luck
