Get a set of needle files from Harbor Freight and find the one that most closely matches the spline. Relieve the burrs so the shaft goes in easier. Don't go crazy. I had a similar problem more than once on various axle shafts on BMW and Audi and this worked every time. Don't whack it with a mallet either. Finesse is your friend...
