That sort of wear is relatively normal on the spindle IME, doesn't look like it's worn it down at all, so won't have introduced any play.

Would it make sense to drill a drain hole into the BB shell to allow water to dry/drain our would a drain hole make it even worse?
If it’s steel I think that’s alright.
I had a track frame with no drainage holes. Rather than drill I took the seatpost out every few days to allow evaporation. And tipped water out after really wet rides (if you can get half a pint out, you know it’s been an adventure).

Having serviced my BB for the first time after 8,000km I discovered that it doesnt look too tidy...
Ive cleaned it and replaced the bearings, so that should be fine.
However, I noted that the surface of the axle had sanded down on the contact points with the bearings - do i need to worry/can I do anything against it?
