Threadless stem on threaded 1 1/8 fork.

I know this is generally discouraged due to potential stress risers from clamping on the threads. If I used JB Weld to fill the gaps and then sanded/ filed smooth and or used copper shim stock would this be sufficient to make this a workable go around? This is a quality steel fork so initial strength should not be a limiting factor.
