It seems the chuck is not too bad so why not buy new jaws for it.
Soft jaws are not really high precision they are really made to hold custom parts and being soft will be wearing quickly.
Using a 4 jaw chuck you will be getting jaw marks on your work so should be avoided at all cost you just cannot get the correct even grip without marks. Then add the time for centreing.
