Damaged firing pin holes on breech face of SXS shotgun ???

I bought a really decent English SXS shotgun from a member here on AR. Everything on the gun is really nice, but one of the firing pin holes is very elongated - maybe damaged from dry firing. The firing pins are not bushed, so is it possible to have the breech face repaired to make the hole a perfect circle again ? If so, who could do the job ?

Some s/s shotguns have the pins pointing up at and angle. Those holes must be eliptical by design.

Not the case here; one hole is clearly damaged. But thanks.
