Put a spot of solder on top of the axle (using a benign flux) or a wisp of fibreglass filler. Centre dotting the top surface is a mite crude . Fit twice to ensure excessive not trapped. The load is more or less in one direction so unlikely to loosen. The situation at the front is quite different as the bearings there control wheel tilt.
It is more important that the bearing is not an easy fit in the hub as the rotaing load worsens it, althogh again at the rear of little consequence except if a sealed bearing allows any oil past.
