What would you think of tapping the holes then filling them with stainless steel socket head cap screws?

Are you talking about holes in the sides of the end?In the chrome ? Or in the ends as you would look from behind and see? If in the sides maybe some kind of tip to cover?

Here's another idea. Install threaded inserts of the type used to make attachment points in panels. The ones I use on truck control panels are aluminum but other materials are available. Then thread ΒΌ" stainless steel socket head capscrews into them.
