Comp teeth on the sprockets are cooked, ramps and tip are worn down that was causing problems as well on comp over just worn washer, and will guess that the teeth on the clutch basket teeth are about the sames worn shape as well.

So on that note,
would be looking for good used Comp set with springs, but without rotor, and outer clutch basket if the teeth are the same as on the old comps teeth.
Note, check inner clutch hub back side spines for any damage, and if you do find that some of the spines at the end are cracked off, may as well just get entire clutch basket with bearing assembly. And if you need to replace the basket bearing since will bank that is got pounded to hell as well, may as just pick up complete clutch basket assembly from the start.
Man, I wasn't wanting to hear more parts need replaced lol. But thank you for the input. I'm just worried about the rotor.. The backside has some what looks like to be wear also and the grooves that slide onto the shaft look worn also.

Just curious, but what about the comp teeth make you say that they're toast? I genuinely just want to know what to be looking for. Thanks!

Also on the comp ramps.. What makes them worn down? I figured the smoothness would just be from normal wear/use

The comp is fine. The rotor needs replacing. You need to trim 0.060" off the comp nut. If the rotor spines were good you wouldn't need to face the rotor surface.. Might stone it a little but it would bite into the comp a little better.
