Normal method for damaged casings is bore out and loctite a bearing sleeve in. You can buy them off the shelf in common sizes, or make your own. They are simply a thin wall sleeve, highly finished on the inside to the correct bearing tolerance and rough turned on the outer to give the loctite something to grip on.
