But as others said, get a new pinion.. that's likely half the reason for the shredded spurs right there.
One other suggestion here. Set the mesh pretty close to what you want, snug up the motor screws and spin the spur a little bit at a time while watching the mesh. Spurs are not perfectly round and there will be a spot where the mesh is tighter than elsewhere. The spot where the mesh is the tightest is where you want to set things up from.
