    Strip and re-bush the shaft would be my choice if the rest is good. Mind you when we couldn't buy bigger pistons than +0.060" for brit bikes knurling them to increase the diameter, and improve oil retention, wasn't unknown, along with burying the barrels to establish rust pits that would retain oil after lightly honing the bores for racing/speedway bikes.
