I used a similar repair using the same threaded stud. It has been holding for more than ten years. I also removed the pin, but did not use epoxy. I carefully heated the stud with a torch and carefully threaded into the panel plastic. Took a few heat and thread tries so as to not overheat the plastic. I use a fender washer on the inside to spread the load on the grill support.
