Great looking rework. I do have a question about the slide bevel.

Could running a slide bevel completely through the slide stop notch hurt surface area enough to either cause peening or shearing of the notch or possibly even the slide stop itself?

Here is an example an interrupted bevel to which I'm referring to:
