I would do nothing, you could catch your rooster and check his toenails, smooth them out, if you want.
People tend to blame the rooster- but Ridgerunner, (a highly respected poster on here) started culling barebacks, not hatching from them, and the problem went away, so partially the hens fault.
I have an old hen who I bought barebacked, when she molted and refeathered out, has had several roosters over the years and never batrbacked again. So who knows.
What you are showing is not bad damage. Again, what I would pay attention to is how she acts around him. Calm and happy-do nothing. If she is constantly hiding out, then you need to separate them.
