Need advice on damaged barrel thread

[C.T.]

Realised I should have probably posted this here not the Firearms section.

I had a gunsmith clean out the base screw threads on my Rem 700 as they were rough from the factory and shaving the threads on the base screws. I told the gunsmith I don’t mind paying extra for them to remove the barrel so they can run the tap right through the front hole without hitting the barrel threads. Well he didn’t, and has damaged the barrel thread as you can see in the pic below. Is this gonna be an issue when removing the barrel later on? Will it damage the action threads when forcing it through or will it simply get forced back into shape by the action threads. Which steel is harder i guess action or barrel? I might be worried about nothing but i’m a bit OCD and this kinda stuff pisses me off.
