I know what you mean. I find the the ball gets worn, not the round part, but the lower part of the shaft. the edge of the drag link rubs itself at that point. I have seen some 1/2 way thru the shaft. I have welded them shut and ground them back, higher than orginal to compensate the the wear in the draglink, or weld them both. Hope this helps your droupy link.

I've had to change things in the past from a ball to a tie rod. just have to ream the taper into the arm. See the link then look up ball joint reamer in the tools area

another way would be to take the pitman arm to a prototype machine shop drill the hole bigger, have a hardened bushing made and welded in place.

You would have to get the matching adjusting sleeve then measure have the drag link cut and thread it, most decent machine shops could thread it (even reverse thread,acme thread ect.), and not automotive machine shops but a prototype machinge shop someone with lathes, mills ect.(I have a friend here in AZ that does my stuff). Small machine shops are hurting and you could have something like that done for $30. it blows my mind the stuff he can make for me cheap (I pay full shop price since it is his lively hood)
