if they are small clean holes (no frayed edges), then it's rope burn from the douse. Making sure your retrieval line is on the inside of the spinnaker for dousing will help somewhat, sail spray will help, and perfect takedowns will help. The pin holes are really a matter of life. Keep in mind that they don't usually physically impact the spinnaker and can be fixed with small cut patches of sail repair tape that is available in colors to match your spinnaker.
