I needed to change some bent shafts, and they are of 3.17mm,
i'm not able to find 3.17mm shafts, 3mm just slips through it,
and even hobbyking doesn't seen to have any of those.

You could replace it with a 1/8th inch drill bit. Should be available at your local hardware store.

.o62 inch is about 1.6 mm. He needs 1/8" or 10 SWG

i saw on some random page while searching on google,
one guy just put some tape onto the 3mm shaft, slides it in and tightened the small hex screw.
Should i try that?

Not tape. If you must, use heat shrink sleeving. But try to get it, try getting SS TIG welding rod 1/8"
