Well, I can't look at .ldr/.dat files at work, so I have no idea what your model
looks like right now (how about a pic and toss it on brickshelf?) but I can show
you what I did when I built a spiral staircase for one of my Moonbase modules
(.space!)

The staircase is basically a core of alternating 2x6 plates and 2x2 turntables.
Between the 2x6 plates at the outboard edge is a 2x2 L shaped plate, upon which
the railing is built.
There are a few other views of the staircase on the Rigel 7 page:
