Roller lifters - No.
Unfortunately, CVH cam wear is just part of the territory. Try what I told you last night, forget the coating IMO. Trouble is, it's not cheap and it's agro each time you want to try a different cam or whatever.
I think it's down to the precision of the fitting and setting up, along with spring pressures. You need to look at both of those.

Would it be worth having a decent machinist modify your cam to include a small diameter hole down the centre of cam and the lobe to act as an oil gallery and provide direct lubrication to the cam and the lifter to reduce wear?

I think over-springing is the main issue. Don't look at it too hard Gus. You need to use a cam setup that is easily replaced. Even if you do everything right, you will still need a replacement from time to time, so using parts that are easier to get is the way. Just with some decent single springs. With solids, you just don't need to be so over the top with stuff.
Mine revved to 7400rpm with no problems on single springs.

ZDDP, is Zinc Dialkyl Dithio Phosphate,
in english it is a anti wear additive, whose level has been lowered over the years, it is a amazing anti scuff additive put in oils and was the "cure" for OHC wear issues formulated years ago for this exact problem, you can but bottle of ZDDP to add to your oil.
The reduction in ZDDP has come about for many reasons, mainly environmental, but with ever better oils it's use in most engines was not so necessary in the concentration used, unfortunately there are exceptions like the CVH cam cruncher.
From personal use I can recommend ZDDP plus as a good additive.
Another option would be to stop wasting money on oils that are fossil fuel based, filling with synlube, would stop a lot of the wear, it is ONCE only oil fill, proved the world over since the early 70's, but is costly, around £250-£300 to fill the sump.
Failing that look at "classic" fully synthetic oils, they may contain elevated ZDDP.
