I have a Tikka T3 300 WSM. I come to find a broken bolt stop pin in the receiver. I tried to remove it with no luck. I applied a little to much pressure on bolt stop. Just as the bolt stop came out I noticed that underneath the pin had stretched the stainless receiver. I was wondering if the receiver could be fixed? What are my options? I reinstalled the bolt stop and new pin and it operates but worried about it handling the stress. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
 
Had to work a couple extra shifts. Sorry for delay. It's just a dimple. I never would of thought the pin would have done this. My bad. Any thoughts? I thought about using a brass punch but I didn't want to mark it up to bad.
