Is there anything else I can do to get the axle to go in the hub other than change out the entire arm??

This is a nightmare situation.
DO NOT FILE!!!

Try turning the hub/axle and finding a point where they are happy.

Make sure the hub splines are clean. Small wire brush helps here.

Only touch up any burrs with a file. Do NOT file the splines!

Try putting the axles in the freezer.
