Time for a new crank.
The ill fitting cup isn;t to blame, tightening up the crank bolt not enough when you first assembled is. Apparently when fixing new cranks it's advisable to tighten the crank to correct torque, then ride it 100m gently, then re-torque it, then another 100m more energetically, then re-torque, then one more 100m giving it some welly, then re-torque.
And no grease!* lolz
