Default Any replace welded spindle on torsion axles???

Pretty much as the title states...came home this weekend and bearing took a chit somewhat close to home and luckily made it, but spindle took a beating from the bearings coming apart. My axles are torsion and not even 3 years old, so I hate to have to replace the whole axle.

Anyone have any luck cutting the old spindle out and re-welding a new one in place? Or is it really not worth the hassle???
