Yeah, I would just forget it, if it's pear shaped that sounds like the spoke heads may have deformed the spoke holes in hub flanges - never seen it but it may have been through excessive tension I would guess and possibly a soft alloy??? I'm guessing these are quite old hubs? Are they even alloy?
I would guess if the spoke holes can be deformed by the spokes, the most likely method of failure would be the hub flange breaking or something similar...
