Without seeing the gun, I can't diagnose your problem. I have a few suggestions. Yes, it might be that the Bolt is out of spec and the firing pin is being damaged somehow by the normal action of firing the gun. Normally, the primer cushins the fall the primer. If the pin is coming in contact with the bolt or being hit off-center, or any number of other things, it might be stressed too much.

How did the pin break? Is it a crack? Is it bent around the crack? Is the tip of the pin broke or is it broke at some point along the shaft?

Firing pins break. 1000 dry firings might certainly break one but if your gun is treating the pin as if it's dry-firing, 1000 rounds might do nearly that much damage. When you replaced the pin, did you get a used firing pin, a new OEM one, or an aftermarket one?
