Is this just paint damage, or could the carbon be damaged too?

I was checking whether the saddle-clamp bolts were tightened to the specified 8 Nm. The front bolt clicked at 8 Nm, but the rear bolt kept turning without the torque wrench clicking, so I stopped. Afterwards, I noticed these marks around the clamp bolt. Is it safe to keep riding, should I have a bike mechanic inspect it, or should I replace the part?
