Tried welding a nut on, the first attempt broke at the weld so I fused a spot of weld onto the top of the stud and then put a bigger nut over it and filled it up with weld.
No chance...sheared the stud off further down.
On the upside holding it on the mill was no drama thanks to all the blocks and parallels I've bought from members on here, glad I had them!
Drilled it roughly down the middle with a 5mm drill bit because I needed centre clearance as I didn't have a centre cutting 3/8 endmill.
Lined up the end mill by eye in the end making sure to preserve the edges of the original hole to guide the helicoil drill when they arrive.
Chuffed.
Thanks for all the suggestions guys.
