Default Main Shaft in Trans is worn...

Hello!
So, I started taking my transmission apart and the main shaft seems to be worn. Where it slides into the Main Drive Gear it is worn around the edge of the roller bearing (see next to tip of screw-driver in picture). The Main Drive Gear also rocks all around in it's ball bearing (see video). My questions for the pros out there are:

1) Is the small 'lip' on the Main Shaft supposed to be there and it is just the roller bearing that is bad? (I got new bearings that I am going to test fit on the shaft when I get it out.
2) Since I don't have the shaft out yet, any theories as to why the shaft rocks so much before disassembly??
