Passport entry stamp of poor quality

Passport entry stamp of poor quality - Facade of old cafe in small village

I recently came back from Portugal and upon looking through my visa section, I noticed that my entry stamp to Portugal is of poor quality. It is hard to see the seal along with the date and it made me wonder a few things.

  1. If I notice that the stamp is poor quality before I walk away from the border and customers desk can I ask for a new stamp?

  2. Could I have issues trying to leave the Portugal with a poor stamp? For example, they won't let me leave because they can't validate the seal or date or think the poor quality is suspicious.

  3. If so, what are the legal options for me?

I assume something like this is very rare but I curious about this.
