Remove the screw, then ...with a high-quality drill bit...
drill a hole all the way through...just slightly larger than the
original hole..

You are kidding right? You know exactly how hard that would be to do.
There would be bearly enough meat on that as it is, let alone the
chance of the drill bit biting into what is there and breaking the
union - he'd have to resort to some metal to metal bonding glue and
some duct tape by the end of it all.

What were you thinking?

I've done exactly this repair myself (to more than one radio).
This is a proven and practical repair technique.

Dunno what "DNA" is thinking?

shhhh! I'm a huntin' wabbit.
