Hmm, just fill the hole with J-B Weld again after a good degreasing.....

Also, silver-solder often sticks to things a lot better than rosin core, and use a torch. Even my big fat 800 degree tip I use for big ugly RF connectors won't heat a stem up enough.

Soldering in California is fine, you can get tin/lead rosin core solder all over the place here for like $3 a roll if you know where to buy it, no shortage of nasty fluxes and so on either.

Oh, here's another idea, tighten down your part, then carefully mill out the hole so it's just a round hole. Laugh yourself sore pictureing the thief trying to find the Allen wrench to fit that!
