I am not a huge fan of carbon, but even I don't think it is that fragile.
based on all the posts I don't think you are ever going to be comfortable with a carbon frame. If you worry about every chip, you will never enjoy the bike
I suggest getting a nice steel frame, whether vintage (vintage steel and modern gear is a great combo) or new (they are out there)
Sell the current frame, show the buyer the chip full disclosure and take 50 bucks off.
or talk to one of the frame repair companies, but I think that no matter what your are always going to be not comfortable with carbon
