Building a Maleficent MIds. Can't find a 3K3 resistor for R13. I have a 3K2. Close enough for government work??? From a design perspective how would it effect things? Please enlighten me.

If you have ever tested a 10 pack of resistors you know they can vary a bit. A 3.2 is pretty much the same as a 3.3. I’d use it. Or if you have several 3.2s check them and find the closest one.

3.2k is within 3% of 3.3K. Depending on the tolerance of the resistors you're using, that's a measured value that would not be uncommon on a 3.3K resistor.
Given it's location on the schematic shown below, I wouldn't expect an audible change between the two values.
Like others have said, If you've got a few, you can measure the resistance of each one until you find the one that's closest.
