Take off too much and the cartridge might not fire.

Any texturing fine enough for a unique number of adequate length would be very shallow, and there is often (always?) float in firing pins, where they strike the primer by momentum like a cue ball rather than simultaneous contact between hammer, pin, and primer. Probably to allow for manufacturing tolerances and/or wear.
