... at that size, it's officially an immature seed,.... Nanners can be very difficult to spot,.. I too have a few stray seeds from my outdoor grow this season, and I was all over those girls like white on rice! it's not uncommon for nanners to form up late in bloom, and cause a few knock-up's to happen with partial-baked seeds forming,.... one difference to note is nanners are incomplete male flowers that form in the buds proper,.. true fully formed male flowers will almost always be found at node/stem junctions,... and if just one of those fully formed male flowers busts open, it can knock a big part of the plant! 
the term "hermie" is something of a misnomer,.. I think the botanical term is intersexed, where the vast majority of the plant is one sex, but may form opposite sex flowers on it,.. my understanding is cannabis is normally a dioecious (separate sexed) plant, but there are hemp seed varieties that are in fact technically monoecious (both sexes),... it's something of a sliding scale with this plant!
stresses, genetics, breeding/selectivity can cause "grey areas" and confusion about this,.. case in point: sex reversing to make fem'ed seeds,.. you're not altering the genetic sex of the entire plant, you're causing a localized reaction that produces male flower formation,....
