Well to start, ejection probems are prevalent in Savage rifles. The problem is caused by oversized tolerances in the making of bolt heads. This 2 threads from the FAQs section should explain and get you started on the fix.

It is possible to do both of them tricks and still have extraction problems and that would require purchasing a new bolt head. This is also a gamble, you may have to go through a couple until you find one that works. I can't say I have seen a bolt head that has gouges in it like the one you have pictured. The bolt heads are suppose to have a slight rounding in the area you have pictured. The gun you have looks to be newer I would call Savage and tell them the problems before you go off and modify the gun. On bolt lug lapping, it is not necessary (And is a wast of time.) on a Savage rifle, do to the floating bolt head design.
