This is something I'll try if I have this kind of problem with my engine. Spot weld the nut and the nut itself will prevent the weld material to spread out. Do it slowly bead by bead until the nut stays put on top of the broken dowel. Then fill the hole (nut thread). I bet you could use a flier or vise grip to pull it out. What ever you decide, keep us posted. We could all learn from your experience.
