Is there any real safe ways to repair the brake drum lug holes were the lug bolts screw into.
Thanks

Yes.
I had studs pressed into mine. Now I use normal lug nuts.

But to weld them and retap them is best left to the professionals. It would probably cost more than replacement.

I was chatting with my wheel and tire friend. The studs he used on mine were threaded in not pressed. So I can remove them from the outside and use the original lugs.

But pressed in ones could be used to save a rim with issues.
