I don't know what others have done. I am assuming the pin has been bent by the movement of the camshaft since it seems unlikely that anyone rebuilding the engine would use a pin in this state and I don't think the previous owner ever had the engine apart after the rebuild. On my other car I had to replace a cam gear and in that case I tapped a new oversize thread through the crankcase and the bush with the engine in the car. It was fiddly but easy enough with a decent extension on the tap.
