if you plan to keep the truck for longer than 3-5 years - I would fix it - as the rust will continue to creep into the surrounding metal and weaken the A pillar.

if you plan to enjoy/drive it and then sell it after a season or two - I wouldn't touch it. As noted - there is likely a host of other rust behind that once you start digging.
