Contact a local machine shop. Any competent machinist with a lathe can make it. You could also buy a rod and thread it yourself with a die. Or use cotter pins instead of lock nuts.

I would user cotter pins but I’m worried about the axle integrity at that diameter? Should I be worried?

It depends on what it is on. Load, speed, etc matter. Cotter pins and washers are common for low speed applications. Threading becomes necessary where side play is unacceptable.
