If I wanted to replace that one rod, I would have to pull the crank and
everything wouldnt I?

IMHO, you have a problem with a bent rod on #1. It is bent enough so
that I predict a short life after the engine is running again , if
you don't address the #1 rod at least. Seems to me what you describe
is in the neighborhood of 0.010 inch or so, (maybe more) and that is
a problem.
I concur. If five pistons stand proud of the block, and one piston is
recessed, and you can detect that by feel, there's something wrong
with that one cylinder.
When you add to that the fact that the most worn cylinder is the same
one with the short rod, and it's the cylinder that's famous for
bending its rod, I'd say replace that rod and hope you caught it quick
enough so that cylinder still seals ok. If one cylinder out of six
makes 95% of the power of the others, the engine as a whole shouldn't
run too badly.
