    What you have there is the result of using a
    fender washer as a substitute for the missing
    pad. As the ball was forced into the hole of
    the washer it pushed some of the material back.
    If I could make a suggestion you could drill a
    hole into a piece of steel a little deeper than
    where you want to add some material. The
    alumi-braze really shrinks when it cools. Devise
    some way to balance the screw in the hole and
    fill the hole with the alumi-braze. It should pull
    out the steel. Your screw looks to be aluminum?
    If it is brass I don’t know if the a“alumi-braze”
    would stick to it.
