I use one of these locking hitch pins. Available everywhere.

These do not fit the hole well enough and promote wear in the hitch, and bar.
I had to ream to the next larger bolt size and use a tight fitting bolt. now there is no movement to allow wear
Not if you use a hitch immobilizer. It works just fine, ours has been used for 4 years without and wear or wearing any holes in the receiver. Just took it out last week and lubed the lock.
The immobilizer takes the load off that pin and most movement out of the tow bar in the receiver.
