Question To patch or to plug...

Just a quick question.

I found a screw in my right rear tire. Fortunately it is between the treads and not in the sidewall. It appears to be penetrating the tire in the straight down direction. My tires are ZR rated with less than 2K on them and I'm looking to preserve the as much strength as I can in the tire.

So should I have it patched from the inside (which is what I think I should do) or should I have it plugged?
