I was petrified about this too. Mine had 6 miles off the truck and 7 when I recieved it. My research showed that anything under 20-30 is ok, and some cars they do test a little in japan on a track (someone correct me if I'm wrong).
Ask them if it came with those miles of if they have been doing test drives. Test drives are a little more to worry about. But really, I think you'll be just fine. You'll find that after putting a few hundred miles on the car those 20 it has now won't make that much of a difference. And when you hit VTEC, your worries will all disappear.
Look over the car carefully regardless (PM me with an email if you want my post delivery checklist). I brought a friend for a second pair of eyes too, and it helped.

Ours had 11 miles on it when we did the test Drive 15 miles latter we took it home. In texas we have a state inspection which has the mileage noted on it. Ours shows 10 miles. Our dealer was really cool about the test drive said put 2 miles on it, if you are going to buy it bring it back in a half hour. Even let us use a Civic to teach my woman to drive a stick.

My car had 10 miles on it. It was fresh off the truck. The dealer told me that they usually come to the dealer with 6-7 miles on them, and after prepping the car after delivery for actual sale gets another 2-3 miles on it.
