Nicely done. Gently peening with patience can return much of the metal to where it belongs. I've also done the small screw heads and they turned out fairly well. A lot of the messed with screws are salvageable. They will be weaker than the original slots but once an action has been disassembled and cleaned oiled and reassembled it should be good for another half century before someone needs to turn those screws again
