Yes, the issue is wear to the bolt bite surface. A hardened bolt bite insert can be added. Or the bolt can be replaced with one that fits better.
That is your most expensive and also least expensive solution for a more permanant fix.
Peening the sides of the bolt bite some can tighten things up, but it is more of a temporary fix. Depends on how much shooting will be done with it.
