There is such a thing as a tapered reamer that is the right size, but i don't know where to find one or what to ask for.
One way i have fixed them in the past is to weld in a little extra metal in the hole, take a used tie rod with the right taper and make a punch out of it, heat the hole until it is plastic, yellow hot, and beat the punch into it until it is back to a a tight taper.
