Usually, stripping spurs is an indication of an improper or inconsistent mesh. Even though the mesh is set right at rest, the weight of the motor could cause chassis flexing on jumps. Do you have the optional Traxxas motor mount brace?

I was running a hardened pinion on a plastic spur in my CEN for a long time and never had an issue. No strange wear or anything. I wouldnt think that the hard pinion would bother the plastic spur at all.
