Actually if the keys which are round instead of rectangular are sheared off then a good chance the front of the crank is buggered up too. If so a new or good used crank is the solution. ...which is just as bad as the crank being broken in terms of cost to replace.
This was the solution to a wobbly hb on the 300d euro I put in my 83 240d.
It was tough to swallow but necessary.
