Stomach acid is made of HCl and has a Ph of about 2. It is very acid and will certainly eat through certain types of rock, namely limestones.

People who reflux stomach acid also have problems with the acid eating away their teeth.

No, stomach acid is not powerful enough to eat through rock. Stomach acid, while strong enough to break down food and kill bacteria, is primarily made up of hydrochloric acid which is not strong enough to dissolve rocks.
