Very sorry I'm late coming to your thread. Some very nice and fast(!) work so far.
About the pits and ding - have you thought about buying a Harbor Freight Stud Welder? For long term use it's may not be worth the money but for your purpose it would work great just to pull out the little dings and dents, cut off the stud and metal condition, and viola you're done!
I picked up one cheap off Craigslist then sold it (wish I'd kept it) at a garage sale after my project was done.

Mine must have been open of the early ones because the label said "Stud
Wedler" and they didn't correct it! But it worked great. Looking forward to seeing the rest of your work. Best, Dan
