The U-channel just has to be closed where the bolt goes through. No wonder that it failed.

I think you have the idea- longer threaded castor, use a spacer in the U section, or use nut to bolt it in place on the U half near the castor, and 2 more nuts to surround the other U half.

Yep,
Sounds like you have a good plan. Straighten and add a spacer. If you had a spacer with threads you could use tighten your caster into the spacer. Then put a bolt in through the other side.
If you can find a castor with a longer bolt that sounds good too. Might want to get one that is a bit tougher.
I'd modify the other side too, before it bends.

Oops! Time to straighten it and weld a nice brace on the end.
A longer-threaded shank would take care of it. Go with a larger caster, too. You'll thank yourself every time you push it around.
Yes, I'll opt for the flame, too, please.
It's "CASTER", ya nitwit! "Castor" is an oil. (see
CastOr oil is probably what he didn't need when he saw what happened to his castEr.
