Default bottom of my EG all dented, Will it effect chassis strength?

Hello everyone, recently I purchased a 92 civic EG, the owner had it on coilovers and its nice and low. The other day I lifted the car up and I noticed the bottom has a lot of dents (due to it being so low to the ground) This is the unibody thats dented correct? And do you guys think this will have an effect on the stiffness and strength of the body? I know these 5th gens have pretty damn thin/light chassis's, i'm not worried about the car breaking or anything Im just wondering if the strength of the chassis would be much different than the same car with the same miles on it yet it doesn't have any rough dents on the bottom.

Thank you all
-JP

Ever stood on an empty aluminum can and then poked a small dent in the side?

There's your answer.
