You need a bigger hammer......really.

Take a 5lb sledge to it and keep an eye on the very end. If it mushrooms too much, grind it down before trying to force it through the splines.

Get yourself a punch with a blunt end.

There is a spot in the center of the axle for you to hit with a hammer and punch. That way you wont mushroom the axle anymore than you have.

Most mechanics use an air hammer with a blunt attachment to push the axle through.

Put a pry bar through the studs to keep it from rotating while you crank this down with a long 1/2" ratchet.
