Ouch! I'm guessing that the dowel has been pulled round in the bearing saddle, but that doesn't mean the case is trashed. I just rescued a 2007cc for someone who was a little overzealous with sealant and blocked up the oil gallery to that bearing and did pretty much the same thing. Oversized the dowel hole in the case, tidied up the bruising around it, and turned up a stepped bearing dowel - worked a treat and saved the case. The crank was scrap as when we got the bearing off it has about 8 cracks all the way round, but at least the case was saved.
