Seen it all before

As a 8 year line engineer on the 787 we have seen hundreds and hundreds of lightening strikes. However real damage to composite structure is minimal. Usually just requiring a fastener replacement as that's where the lightening goes through. We find the metal matrix does it job quite well.
