Crank pulley failure urgent help

Guys,


brief history:
about two months ago i replaced both belts on 2005 g55 amg, kompressor engine.

few weeks ago one of the belts came off and when i got he car to the shop, they discovered crank pulley is loose, when it was removed the inside of the pulley was chiseled out by the crank shaft and it had a slight chip on the inside crank shaft hole.

i bought a new pulley and everything seemed fine until yesterday. im not sure either another pulley or a belt were squeaking on cold start so i decided to take a look, and discovered crank pulley wobbling and upper tensioner jumping.
i went by the a local shop to make sure that the pulley was not completely lose and the guy couldnt move the wrench, so its tight enough to stay in place.
it looks straight when the engine is off.
i'm on a road trip for a week and concerned about safety, i'm with my family so dont want to get stranded on the side of the road.

i called a mechanic i know and he said if its not that loose i can slowly get home.

please help, what can it be and what can i do? is it safe to drive home?

thanks in advance
