FX Panthera Valve Rod Leak

it is the third time this problem has happened to me, the first time due to a shot with the rifle without pressure and the O-ring x1-2 broke, old version of the valve, the second time the same or O-ring broke without particular causes, and the third time I attach the photo, the valve is destroyed

the rifle is one year old, now I'm waiting for the cap, valve stem and seat

I would have stoned the back of the valve flat if that was all that was wrong with it it seals at the orings looks like the hammer kissed it

I degassed my Panthera to install a Huma regulator. I watched a YouTube and saw a guy dry firing to do this. Bad thing to do. Bent my valve rod which was the earlier skinny one.
Ordered the complete kit of valve and seat and o rings and seat removal tool. Still leaked so replaced all o rings again and have the leak reduced to a point that it takes 3 days to run out of pressure. Thinking about buying another valve and seat and trying again.
Any thoughts would be appreciated. Was thinking of selling the gun (25/700) but a leaking gun is not worth much
