From those 2 photos, looks like the scratch marks are on the non-contact surfaces of the cam. Cam still good to use.

Maybe I could suggest on how to take out the camshaft bolt by alternative way. Dismantle slowly all the cam bearing caps - all those 13mm nuts along the camshaft. Take the whole camshaft out of the engine - along with the rear plastic timing cover. Put the cam pulley in vise grip - sandwiched by thin woods to protect the pulley. Tackle the stuck camshaft bolt at the vise.

Amarin.
