Gouges in bolt hole

Working on the left gear weldment yesterday. While removing the bolts during the fitting process, some were tight and had to be "unscrewed", the threads left some scratches inside the holes drilled thru the spar(center section assembly) which kind of concerns me. The scratches are similar to if you tried to tap the hole, but only did one side. There are five, maybe an eighth inch wide and are perpendicular to the hole. Any thoughts?

Call Van's. I'm thinking those holes are meant to be left as they come from the factory.
