Holy cr@p, that's the worst case of the pits I've ever seen! You're done polishing, that's for sure.

There may be some kind of hi-temp filler you could use before powdercoating, but if the outgassing continued it prolly wouldn't work.

It's my understanding that these could be filled with a (few?) layers of copper, ground smooth, then plated, if that's the route you wanted to go.
