How hard are the Grading Companies on rim dings???

PCGS,NGC,ANACS---don't care about the rest.

It depends on how detracting it is in the overall scheme of the coin's eye appeal.
The larger the coin the more significant the detraction. PCGS/NGC/and ANACS are
all about the same. If the rim ding is significant enough , PCGS and NGC may bodybag it
as damaged or downgrade significantly. ANACS may net out the coin as damaged.
I think also if it does not significantly intrude into the fields, you'll be ok.

If the ring ding is not too bad and can be hiden by the holder, quite often they ignore it. That's why you have look at the rims too when you are grading a slabbed coin.

imo, rim-dings should be ignored, except at the highest grades.

rim DENTS, now that's a different story. ie a rim dent is when the displacement goes beyond the inside radius of the rim.
