Just have a machine shop make a press-in sleeve to reduce the diameter of the oversized end. Easier and cheaper than replacing the ends.

that was going to be my suggestion as well. when the sleeve is pressed in, watch how the axle goes in. if a bit of jiggering around is necessary, it might be a good idea to check that tube to see if it's bent. also, it's common for a pressed in sleeve to "shrink" a couple thousands of an inch on it's inside diameter when installed [depending upon the amount of "press" fit] thus, requiring a slight hone to the desired fit clearance. a way easier [and cheaper] fix than installing a new bearing end.

That's going to be a pretty thin sleeve to press in. Might consider freezing it and dropping it in. A little red loctite would't hurt.
In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.
