Hi, I know what you're going through! I've been through much, much worse.
1. Make sure to water the naner regularly- irregularity lowers its defenses.
2. Give it lots of sunshine or light. The more light the better, especially in Zone 6.
3. Q-tip the spot with peroxide couple of times.
4. If in a few days it progresses- take a sharp blade and remove the spot. I have several naners with pretty serious surgeries, large and deep cuts and they survived and even kept the most damaged leaf for a very long time!

Good luck!
Alex.
