It could be from using braid. Happens more with 4x carrier braid with mix with connection knots. You can replace the tip. Or… roll up 300 or 600 grit sandpaper, go in and out of the eye til smooth.

Cheap guide inserts are prone to grooving from braided line. You can replace the top guide and it’ll be good to go. I’d just look up a YouTube tutorial on how yo do it

I’ve had my entire inner eyelet fall out of a rod before. I used clear nail polish for a quick temporary fix to lessen the friction by eventually it wears off and I pitched the rod. I think those ruts are just line friction problems.
