stripped caliper slide pin.

I did my rear brakes. first side went like cake then i go to the other side and found the someone tried and rounded off a good part of the lower caliper sliding pin. I've tried to get with the 14mm wrench and attempted to fit a 13mm since it was around rounded. So i gave up on it due to the lack of clearance and everything. I went around it to get to my rotor and finished the job. with the torque member off i can easily attempt to impact it off or just live with it.
At first i was dead set on replacement but then i looked and kinda thought bout it. how much damage can this cause? I lubed up the pin and it goes in great. I dont thing this really effects much other then the fact that i cant take it off but the only reason why i need to take it off is because i'm doing brakes and even then i really didn't need to bother with the lower one because i could of easily done with just out it.
Would this lead to a FROZEN pin?
