Just put in slightly larger screws, even self tapping screws will work there I believe

I wonder how small helicoils go too?
Epoxy putty may hold the spring tension of the horn ring.
I think I'm right in saying the hub itself is alloy so welding is out.
Hmm, as the screws are 'special' then you could re-tap to M4 with a blind tap so the M4 screw bottoms out so the screw stays tight and cut the screw
to length than that works or dill thro the hub to put a nut on the other side.
