did I mess up my frame?

After hours of painstaking swing arm bolt removal I noticed I may have damaged the inner side of the bolt hole on the frame. This was probably due to me being an idiot and slamming a bolt that didn't fit properly in the hole in attempt to remove the swing arm. (I also had to grind out the swing arm bolt because it had mushroomed a tad and thus the outer ring of the hole has been scuffed by a grinder haha - so two mess ups) The undersized bolt that I hit to remove the swing arm bolt probably mashed up on the inside of the bolt hole. I can't tell if its actual damage or just oil poop that got smudged (I had to leave to work so I could not investigate further but I suppose I could try to use my fingers to pick away any debris and see if its fine).... any tips or direction would be appreciated!
