Look, if you are getting a private pilot's license to fly for $h|ts and grins, this is a non-problem. But if you are starting down a career path, it's wise to get this taken care of before investing huge amounts of money. Having dealt with NUMEROUS AMEs, I can say with certainty that none of them would have been hypocritical enough to down someone for no more than crappy handwriting.
The only issue for the FAA is whether or not this is a PROGRESSIVE issue. If it's a static condition, it's no problem. And trust me, the answer to that question is even more important to you than it is to the FAA.
