Default Low compression

Getting a cylinder 8 misfire. Decided to do a compression test and boy howdy is it bad. I tested 1,2,6,7, and 8. 1-7 were between 150 and 155. Cylinder 8 is hitting 55 and 65 on a wet test. Though I did turn it over a bit before I ran the wet test.

My question do you think it's a burnt valve or should I be expecting to pull the pan and cylinder as well?

Do a leak down test and see what's leaking. As the rest of the cylinders are ok i would suspect a valve issue. Take the valve cover off and have a look at the valve train.
