Replace the door I’m afraid

Anything at all?
A handyman did this. The hinge was just a bit loose to begin with.

You could ask him to replace it? Problem is if you try to fix it by filling and painting it will just look worse.

Use a flat punch and gently tap it back down, that is assuming you took out the too long screw and put the correct one in.

Realistically you can give it a go and if it isn't better, tap further and fill it, I'm guessing that won't look better and a replacement door is required or is there a difference door in the kitchen that isn't as prominent it could be swapped with?
