Your best friend in this situation is a gap. It works the same as a cutting torch. I had some leaking on my 6mm and pin sized marks showed up on the bolt face. I had Dennis Olson mill a tiny groove around the affected area on the bolt face and that stopped any further damage.

Changing the primers, finding the cause is necessary too, but the small circle around the primer area is better than the pock marks...
