yes you could solder a piece of copper sheet or steel shim stock over that area. make it like a taco pre tin the area and the sleeve crimp firmly with pliers and solder in place.
use ezi-weld 801 flux its a very strong zinc chloride based flux this stuff will allow you to solder stainless steel and monel which are difficult to do. general use you dilute at 4:1.
Cat has it for $70.44 or here are some others, try Florin
