What is the best fix for this problem: shims, heat treatment followed by clamping the arm in a vice, or ...?

Hang tight and do not modify the Steering Gear (Pitman) Arm just yet. There were some reproduction Sector Shafts that did not have the correct ¹⁵⁄₁₆" size shaft. You need to measure your shaft to see if it measures 0.9375". The problem may not be your arm.
