From the appearance of the ferrules the cable is coming into the stop/socket at an angle, causing it to rub and wear. I think you need to change the housing length so that the cable is better aligned with its receptacles. Some photos of the cable going into the brifter and stop might be informative.
Have the ends of the housing been properly prepared as shown here? https://www.sheldonbrown.com/cables.html#cutting
