The rule specifically states that it has to be "obvious damage" from a non-stadium source, so it has to be proven that it was worn down on an unusual surface to be disqualified. Unless there's a mark on it that could only come from a floor tile and not from standard stadium wear, you're honestly fine using it in a tournament. If we were so strict that it was illegal the moment it touched a non-stadium surface, basically everything would become illegal the moment it leaves the stadium and touches the floor. That's not reasonable nor a fair interpretation of that rule.
This rule is mostly there to prevent people from wearing down tips on concrete and similar materials to get really unusual shapes or performance, especially on rubber drivers like Variable where wear matters. This is clearly not that case for any of these drivers.
