I used this method on one frame and built up this platform using an Arc welder in order for it to provide a footing for the B screw. Best to use a heat shunt though in order to save the paint job.

It's sometimes possible however, to exchange the B screw for a Allen-headed bolt and reversing this, using the larger head to find contact with the platform.
