Surface Noise would be an easy solution if the object has the UVs for it. Micromesh could also give you a geometry solution if you have the topology for it (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8xGlXLn_9bU).

To manually model it, you’ll want to try and get a nice grid-like structure to the topology with consistently sized squares. Select faces four at a time, and use Group loops (1 loop). You’ll wind up with a nice circular face in the middle which you can then delete. Rinse and repeat across the mesh. (example)
