    Have it welded or if you’re going to paint it just fill the hole with JB Weld.

    Loads of videos on youtube about fixing tiny holes in car body panels.

    Even at soldering temperature you will destroy the temper of 60 and 70 series alloys.

    Selleys 'Knead It" Steel putty $22 @ Bunnings.
    Once set can be painted. Good stuff to have on the workshop desk.

    Did an emergency repair on a split hot water cylinder (low pressure) after the 2010 Canterbury quake using this ^^ - lasted several years and was still going strong when I replaced the cylinder. Devcon would be good for what you are doing as well and you can get it in small $20-ish packs.
