How much is a worn valve guide? If there's .003 clearance..........that's heavily worn. This would allow the valve to move .0015" radially from center...........and the effect on the valve face would be about .0005" or less. So, unless the guides are seriously worn (.006" or more) and the engine is consuming a lot of oil, the guides cannot cause this issue.
