I hate to waste something that could be made to work. I am just not wired to throw stuff away.

Time for a re-wire.
You want to spin it to 6500 ?
How much is a new cast crank ?
Forged is around 750.
How much to turn .125 off of the remaining journals ?
Cheaper to offset grind and add stroke I bet , but even after grinding and indexing , you will be into it for more than the 400.00 a cast crank would cost.
