I am in the process of fixing one that already worked itself through.
Will do it in two parts; there will be one piece of 1.5 inch wide 2mm thick
piece and the other will be shaped to the remaining area that goes inward.
The two pieces will be matching well enough not to leave a gap.
I would have to clean and treat the old area before I would lay the plate on
top.  Unfortunately this job is now delayed by the heavy snow we have here
in WA state.

since there's a groove, we have the option of repairing le lower track or
putting in a new one (both require welding)

I wonder if we just replace the bottom roller with a slightly larger one -
will it work?
