DIY Repair Screw Hole In Tire Tread?

Has anyone DIY repaired a screw or nail hole in the tread of an auto tire?

I think its just a matter of removing the screw, roughing up the hole, applying glue, and inserting a plug - right?

One of our cars has said screw in the LF tire, these are snow tires that only get used part of the year, and my tire shop won’t repair the puncture as the tire is ten years old. I’m surprised I got so many years from the tires, but I’d like to get some more. There is adequate tread after all.
