Fixing this junction would be extremely easy. As suggested, a braided junction would be the best answer.
The model I'd suggest for it is the M8-A720 junction - two slip roads go around the M8 junction to access the the A71.
Similarly, the south-facing sliproads from the M4 can be routed around the A38 junction.
