Default Cranse Iron "Mushrooming"

I'm refurbishing the bowsprit on my 1985 Baba 40 and noticed that the SS cranse (sp?) iron is very slightly mushroomed near the clevis pin hole where the jib stay is attached. It is raised or bulged-out by approximately 0.01" on each side at the bearing point of the pin. I noticed a similar "bulge" on the gammon iron as well at the staysail attachment point. Other than this, the condition of the both the cranse iron and the gammon iron is very good and no cracks or anomalies can be seen when examined under 8X magnification. My question... do I need to do anything to this as in, is this anything to worry about?

Thanks
