Are both sides of the point burnt equally or have metal moved and buillt up on one side ?
If metal has moved to one side of the point the balance of the circuit is wrong (coil/capacitor value).
If both sides are equally burnt in a short time to high load is probably the cause.

One side has a peak, the other, a corresponding valley.
