I've never seen one of those worn that much, at least not on any of the sets I have with a similar mechanism, but someone had the good sense to grease most of those periodically. I agree, reaming out the hole and installing a press fit bushing would likely solve the problem, it would take some precision to ream the old hole out in just the right place. However since it still sort of works you could just live with it unless you plan on making this 70 a daily driver.
Regards
