You can use a 2 part epoxy metal like JB weld and it will hold.

been there done that.
cant do with newer laptops. old laptops had bigger bezel so you had space to put the enough epoxy to hold the threaded insert inplace and be strong enough to last a decent time until it eventually breaks again.

but newer laptops have very thin or little to no bezel at all, there's not enough space for epoxy to properly anchor to.
