The pintle should be replaced if it shows any sign of damage or is worn down. Usually the manufacturers will have a worn down to point. My suggestion is once it gets to the point of an inspection and wear is present replace it. If it is a solid steel ring, it can be welded to be repaired. If it is a forged or cast ring it is scrap and has to be replaced.
