I'd make you one if you pm me with bolt details and your postal address.
And of course that all is not much good unless you dress the surface flat.
I'll bet you're right about starting with a flat surface & tightening the bolt flush. I guess that wasy hope with adding the JB Weld - more surface area to spread out the perpendicular force on the bolt while filling in the gap between the head & surface.
I'm looking at this as allowing time for me to get a body or two & do a cage swap rather than a permanent solution. Time will tell as I think trying to remove the bolt now will only cause more damage.
