My hand brake shoes suffered the same fate a year or so ago, but fortunately I changed them before any lock-up hub damage occurred.
Before fitting the new shoes I drilled and inserted 2 copper brake shoe rivets at each end of the shoes - (the copper rivets are still fairly easily obtainable and easy enough to fit).
I shall be very surprised if I get any further trouble
