1 piece crank woes

My bike is rocking / running a one piece crank...(I know)
I felt a little slippage when trying to slow down, thought it was my lockring...
Tightened it, and still have this "little slip"

After staring at the drivechain for about 45 seconds I realized that it is likely that it is my one piece crank...

The drive pin is smaller than the drive pin hole so the sprocket / crank moves a very small amount!
I can totally feel it... it bites.

Is there some common way to fill the gap so that there is no movement?


Its a cheap frame / bike so im not going to do a bottom bracket conversion / 3 pc crank...
Im saving up for a better frame / etc... and just looking for a way to stop this from happening in the meantime.
Thanks for any ideas
