I had the same problem with a Sugino XD600 on a long brevet with the left side crankarm. I replaced the left side crank arm along with the bottom bracket and torqued the crank arm down to 40 ft/lbs per specs.
The left side arm only cost $23 and the BB was less than $20, so maybe this would be an option for you as well vs. a new crankset?
