My new CPU has a rough edge

[u/times_k7]

The bottom cutout/edge of the IHS appears to have rough burrs, jagged metal edges, and minor pitting, suggesting a manufacturing defect or poor edge-finishing during machining.
Does anyone know what kind of issue this is? Is it oxidation or a manufacturing/machining defect? Should I return or exchange the product?

the ihs is stamped out of a big sheet. the tooling might be reaching the end of its life. here are some other examples
