Forward Beam Socket Wear – Repair Options?

Hi. I recently purchased a 2015 boat from a single owner. She was mainly left erected at the marina and covered. I'm new to a Weta, but there is what I would classify as excessive wear in the forward beam socket. Is this a known long-term issue? Is there a preferred repair? Is there a recommended rebuilding process for the beam with epoxy/carbon or rebuilding the socket to allow a tighter more precise fit? Or am I over thinking and this is normal? I've found nothing on this subject with searching online. Appreciate the feedback.

Doesn’t look bad to me. You should probably patch that small gelcoat chip.

When you rig, set the forestay tight enough so the tramps rise up tight so they don’t flop while sailing.
