Corroded brazed joint to an R-22 heat pump:

Doesn't look to me like this has enough sound material left to be spliced
back together with a new braze.

Is there any good way to put a new fitting into the side of these
hermetically sealed compressor cans?

I think you could sneak a coupler on that little stub. Time to collect one
of those many favors God owes you!
