Wiper motor/arm splines stripped.... Fix or replace?

The motors work fine, but the splines are chewed off where the wiper arms slip on, possibly due to using cheap chinese wipers that don't fit snugly.

Is there a way to repair these or replace these without buying new motors? The motors seem to work fine, and replacements are pricey.

thanks in advance

dunno if you can get new ones.. but it pry wouldnt be too hard to score some off of a beater parts truck for cheap... they might even be the same on lots of old cars too.. just a thought.
