Worst that could happen is you eat a piece of enamel?

I would reach out to Le Creuset. They're most likely expensive enough to have a decent customer service department. You might get a 2 for 1 deal.

They replaced mine. They fought me on it a little, but ended up replacing it.

They replaced a friend of mine's Dutch Oven that he cooked in for 10+ years, even though it was technically out of warranty. I would definitely reach out to them.
