The failure mode was too much tension on the cam gear, which snapped off the nose. A bolt and the rough surface might be ok for torsional forces, but it won't do squat against angular forces.

If this was flight of the Phoenix I could see fixing the cam, but other "good" options are out there for such a critical part.
