You can buy special washers with a recess at .005 .010 etc to take up any end play. If you have a lathe you can do this your self. I wouldn't cut the axle tube, if you do, your lengths will be all wrong as you need it so when the axle is in there you have no end play, depending on just how bad the damage is you may be able to get someone to line bore the end a bit to get it back to round. As for the axle, i would machine the worn section down, press a 4140 sleeve on it and machine it down to size.Can you take some pictures? it would give us a bit more of an idea on the damage you have.If it was me, i'd try to fix it, but i'm a sucker for punnishment <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />If one set of bearings is gone, honestly i'd replace the lot.</blockquote>
