Pull that piston and change the rings. Some would chnge all the rings for the other pistons as well since they are down there. I can't think of any other way to restore compression. Some people have used a MOPAR top end cleaner with mixed results. It is some form of strong cleaner that cleans the piston crown and frees the rings up a little so that they may re-seat. Don't qoute me about the cleaner though.
