Unless the paint is so small it won't be held by the detent, it just doesn't matter as long as the barrel is smooth. If the barrel is not smooth, it will shoot like poo.
I shoot small paint through big barrels all the time with great results including 30 shots a 12ie, and though I haven't done true scientific experimentation to prove it doesn't matter, THAT'S BECAUSE GLENN PALMER ALREADY DID IT! Glad not to have to bother, Thanks Mr Palmer!

Not sure what kind of gun you use - but with a closed bolt, like a Cocker or Sniper, you NEED to match your paint.
Now, if you have a set of wedgits in the barrel you can get away with what you've been doing, or if you have an open bolt gun, go ahead - the most accurate gun I've used was a Tippmann with a large bore BOA barrel.
Anyways, back to topic - like B said, don't worry about some scratches, as long as they are linear, meaning they go along the length of the barrel. Is it shooting poorly? If it's still shooting okay, then leave well enough alone.
