Yeah in all honestly, the only proper option is to buy a re-furbed axle from the likes of IM axles or similar. If you have a fair amount of mechanical experience you could attempt to replace the bearings/stub pins yourself in the axle you have now, but they are very tricky to do and if you are unable to manage it you've just wasted more time and money.

as above new rear axle is the best option..
