I would use the steelstik putty rather than the typical resin. You can mold it into position and it won't run out.
My instinct is that the compression from the QR is going to cause the dropout to change shape just enough that the JB won't stay in place. But it is easy and worth trying.

Of course, grease the outside of the axle so the JB doesn't stick to it at all.
