Yes, I have turned and threaded to 9/16 Fine. YOu can get the recommended 100ft-lbs without turning it off. (Some go higher on the OEM size, but 100ft-lbs is kind of proof of the pudding in any case - and why push your luck?)

Still, axles are not that hard to find. I have bought four of them in the last year. The most I paid was $15 per shaft.

But of course getting to the point where you can install it is the challenge.
