If the shaft has expanded sufficiently, it won't rotate. If it turns, you can add additional torque.
At some point, it should stop turning. If it doesn't, your cam towers are damaged and additional solutions will be required.

I suppose what you are showing here is a great additional solution that could be handled in someone garage with a file and calipers on the nuts and sleeves.
