Good grief.
When a axle stub has turned blue its trashed. Axle stubs are a alloy steel and have been heat treated. Heat from a ruined bearing draws or normalizes the heat treat process and can easily break later on.
Do it right and have a big rig trailer repair shop replace the stub or a new axle assy. They can check and realign if necessary. Or at least let them give you a professionals opinion.
