Yes, even though the u-joint cap has spun inside the eye and has worn away some material, it can be tightened up. I learned this at a local driveline shop. You first take the u-joint out of the eye. Then you heat up the enlarged eye with an oxy-acetylene torch until it's red hot. Let it slowly air cool - don't quench to cool it. It will now be a press fit again.
