Always look to change the least expensive or most replaceable part first. Just file/grind two shallow flats (about 0.25mm each) on the axle at opposing spots which are along the length that matches where the drop out sits. Very easy to do and if you screw up a $10 axle is far less a hit then a $40+ fork. Andy.
