Yes, if you delete the faulty header, next time the file is requested a
new version should be fetched. The other files in your cache should be
fine.

Before you do that could you run

 bzcat 
/var/cache/apt-cacher/packages/security.debian.org_dists_stable_updates_contrib_binary-i386_Packages.bz2

I would live to know where this file has come from and make sure there
isn't a bug hiding here somewhere.
