I've not had that happen to any of my leathers, but there are some pests that do eat leathers.

I lost a nice Fiji leather to this, it is a worm - - the hole is the key.
You'll need to frag it or it will eventually die - I'm sorry!

In my opinion - frag anything you can, what do you have to lose? Beats losing it to the trash!
I didn't frag the stalk but fragged every little piece I could - - got about 3 nice leathers out of all the little frags. Good luck!
