Normally, wear doesn't take place in the pedal, but in the aluminum bracket. (The pin is hardened steel and held in place by a setscrew in the pedal, so it moves with the pedal.) You can try closing up the bracket a little with a c-clamp, or some other device, or adding a thin washer on one side, and this might help. Just proceed with caution and remember to oil the pin yearly on each side of the pedal.
I find that most all steels have "pedal noise" when the pedals are pressed and released quickly, but more often than not, that noise usually comes from from slop at the top pedal rod connection. The pedal brackets are pinned in place, and are a pain to remove, so before you attempt any repairs, make sure it's the pedal or bracket that's actually at fault!
