As ray said you need to look at the cause first,
Strip the lock down and clean them with wd-40 then lube them up properly with a silicone or ptfe lubricant and put it all back together,
If the key still works properly then you should be ok,
There are a few other reasons for your pin troubles,
You may be useing too much tension,
Your lock may be so low quality that the actual holes on the chambers are burred up and its those that are wearing the pins,
Locks arent expensive of difficult to get hold of maybe just use yours for spares and get another one, 100 times of picking means your ready for somthing else anyway,
I take it your picking and not raking? raking will damage locks,
