so either this was a bad aftermarket part with bad measured pin size or something was stuck/blocking the pin insert inside the strut base.

I've done both, swap on bench, swap on car, no issues.
I understand, and that's what makes me worry... The strut is Bilstein and the ball joint is Lemförder, both respected brands. However, as said, now it's in place and I hope I don't have to service either of them anytime soon.
