Since you're an 08, that bearing wore past the copper. Nothing scratched it. It's just been worn down and is no longer a bearing.

I don't believe anyone makes oversized bearings for the s65 if you were to grind the crank down. Maybe a polishing will work and wont put you out of spec to use an OEM sized bearing. The point in rod bearing change is that the bearings were spec'd too tightly from the factory. So an OEM bearing on that journal and BE bearings on the others.

You're in rebuild territory though. Inspect the cylinders to make sure they aren't scarred if any of the bearing material made it past the filter.
