It might pe possible to ream out the rocker bores and press bronze bushings into them, but the radius of the tips are critical and need to be the same for all the rocker arms. There's a fixture for most valve grinding machines that is able to resurface rocker tips correctly- - - -or at least make all of them match. It looks like you need to go shopping for a complete rocker and shaft assembly- - - -they show up on Ebay pretty frequently. Once you come up with a complete replacement assembly, you're going to need to address the source of the lack of oil flow that caused the original shafts and rockers to wear out- - - -that assembly has run dry for thousands of miles to do that much damage.
