It is possible to find a used cap and have all the caps line bored, but you will need to compensate for any change in the position of the camshaft.
The cleanest solution is a new head as mentioned previously.

Rough Road,
Cam caps are machined specifically to each Cylinder head in the way they are manufactured. Changing cam Caps / holders is NOT reccomended. The tolerance must be EXACT original spec =TO tight the Oil will not flow. and the cam will sieze. Too Loose= the oil will dump out and not lubricate or hold oil pressure.
Sadly the true fix is a replacement cylinder head. you already went thru valve replacement. but a remanufactured head would have been the better path.
