I can see exactly what the problem you have will look like. It's pretty common in a 22 LR that boy has played with.

I would strongly advise you to get the area built up with laser welding.
A good laser welding tech will be able to very accurately place material exactly where it is needed.
Do not let them clean up the weld unless they also fully understand small bore rifles. Do this yourself if it is slightly over filled.
Get them do do it with the hardest filler rod they have on hand.

If there is not a laser welding business in your area get it to one out of town. Take your time and get this right.
Tig might make you a whole lot of trouble.

I can not speak highly enough of a good laser welding job. I have asked for 0.5mm to be placed on an extractor and expected it to be 0.1 or 0.2mm over size ... but pretty well perfect and a tiny polish and perfect.
