You did not say what type of damage you had on the cases, if your dies were not adjusted right , maybe the shoulder was pushed back too far leaving a bulge right at the shoulder/body ? In my experience , if the bulge is not too severe the brass can be resized enough to make it shootable, if it is bad enough that you can still feel or see a bump after resizing, IMO, the brass should be discarded.
When you lube cases the neck and shoulder should be untouched, lube on the neck and shoulder can cause build up in the die resulting in hydraulic dents, which are not necessarily bad, the dents will be pushed back out when the cartridge is fired, but they sure don't look good.
I use a pad and RCBS lube, placing the cases in a row on the edge of the pad with the shoulder and neck hanging off ,then roll the whole line at once.
this keeps the lube only where it is needed.
