Default Slide Problem Colt 380

I think you'll see the wear in the picture provided. Yesterday, I found the slide on my Mustang Plus II releasing without warning. Upon closer inspection, I found the slide stop cut on the slide had worn on the rear, preventing the slide stop from completely engaging. i.e. the gun will not stay open. The question is:

1. Can I just take a triangle file and make the edge "squared" again? allowing the slide stop to catch? Or...
2. Is the slide shot... meaning I need to buy a new one? OR....
3. Is this best left to a gunsmith?

This is daily deep concealed weapon for me. I like it, and it shoots remarkably well. I would probably send it to Dave Severns and let him HARD hat it... I'm keeping it till I die anyways....

Your thoughts? Very appreciated.

Da
