It's weird because going through the thread I haven't noticed anyone else with this kind of issue. I got my 6.5 within the past year so I'm wondering if the manufacturer reduced the base thickness on the more recently produced units. I have a photo of my false bottom here; it's one of the ones...

Here's a shot of what the dents look like. So this is the base of the 6.5 model. This has happened a few times. My brew sessions are right around 6lbs of grain and 2.5 gallons of water. So nothing really unusual. I've used splayed wine corks on the feet of the false bottom but that's really...
