I've never had one do that, so other then trying another brand I'm wondering of something else is causing this. Are you certain the bendix is fully retracting from the ring gear when the button is released?
Post a picture of what it looks like if you have one.

Interesting, never seen a shovel style self-destruct before much less 4 of them. You got alignment issues if it's getting in far enough to eat things. OEM or aftermarket primaries, the starter ? Outer brand in particular. ?
