Get extra thin CA, and dab a LITTLE BIT on to the arm shaft from the INSIDE of the arm. The CA will get sucked into whatever space there is. It will get tight, but you can still move the shaft with pliers(it won't stick on stainless steel). remove any excess CA and you have zero slop now.

Please do this at your own risk. I do not know the long term effects of this mod.
I did the CA trick. Just make sure to let it dry thoroughly. If you can't get the shaft through after it dries, then take a 3/32" wrench or 2.5mm wrench and work it through the holes. You might want to have some debonder on hand just in case it doesn't work out right.
