Offer as much calcium as you can, bottle cap in the viv, without d3, dust all feeders, and you could try calci drops you either put in mouth or water, if you are in the early early stages you might be able to catch it before it does mega damage, if in doubt take it to your nearest herp vet and ask for them to reccomend how to go about treating it and with what products.

Pictures would be helpful!
Liquid Calcium, but Vet appointment is the best way to go IMO.
It's not reversible but you can stop it from getting worse and make the bones stronger.
Make sure you have fresh, gut loaded insects and supplement them every feeding. (calcium dish in the tank is a must!)

i can never breed them right

I would advise against it.

I would to. The female could end up egg bound. She already Has MBD, even when she's stronger the strain on the body and the extra calcium it takes, It could kill her.

That makes it better, depending on how severe it is though. I personally wouldn't. but It's your choice. Pics please!
