I haven't really looked at mine yet, but isn't what's in there threaded
just like the bypass plugs?

I don't think I would trust not welding it. The material you will be
putting on the holes will be taking the few thousand PSI of the brake
fluid when you slam on the brakes. If there were a catastrophic failure
of the plug, you will be pumping large amounts of fluid onto the ground.
