The kind of wear you speak of, in that short amount of usage, seems to indicate as I mentioned in the previous post, that a finished part missed the heat treatment, it happens.

if so, I suggest you clean things up and replace the soft worm/cam follower.
Post a close up picture of the follower on here, as that don't happen very often.
