No why? You could squish 2 gaskets together maybe depending on the material used.

Just take the manifold down to a machine shop and have them resurface the flanges. Any competent shop should be able to do that for you.

using more than 1 gasket i wouldnt recomend, esp if there is another issue there for having the 2ns gasket, could only cause more problem down the long run

gaskets should only be used to seal joints in metal. You're making it sound like you want to use it as a spacer as well, which is just asking for an exhaust leak. TheRealNighthog has the best suggestion for both performance and longevity. Get 'er machined

Its such a slight mperfection that a 1mm thicker exhaust manifold gasket will fix it. different brands could be that differecne i need without machining, which is the right thing to do. just dont wanna take the turbo off once again you know.
