I would use a sheet metal screw and rubber washer with the weld. If it leaked I would loosen the pressure cap and monitor the temp.

This otoh is great advice and about the most solid ad hoc repair plan.
Even better if you find a screw with a rubber gasket like for metal roofs.
Will work in the wet also. But if you can do the repair “dry” I’d use some more of the JB stuff, epoxy or even rtv on the threads to help glue it in.
