The only way to reduce this end play is to remove the axle and add some length to the flat surface on the inner end. This requires careful measuring then welding material to extend the end then machining flat. A lot of work
or you can replace the axle and hopefully the new one will be within spec. Not easy but I have done it successfully several times when end play was excessive.
