then one day I am rolling hard and it stops running, no start = no fire = the pad/tip on points burnt right off the arm.

I will pick up a new set of points and retune.
the metal contact tip not the fiber piece that rides on the shaft cam lobe correct? that is pretty rare, I'd suspect an oil film on the point contact faces or a very high draw coil or a cheap set of point or maybe it it is a good set then one that came thru with bad metallurgy (Murphys law) plus alot of dwell gives more burn time but rarely burns off the tip!. You are lightly lubing the cam lobes for the fiber piece?
