I was going to use green locktite (max str bearing retainer formula) on the gear and shaft as well, but I got impatient and just went with the drill bit.

If it breaks again I will use the locktite, and possibly drill bigger and tap w/ 3mm to use a driveshaft thru pin. Don't want to go too big and weaken the shaft, but I think it would take it.
