Since two of the three holes would have nothing inside, unless scoped, it seems setscrews with a bit of threadlocker would do the job very permanently.

Not that my opinion regarding cosmetics is worth squat. My feeling is that if the thing isn't showing use, then I don't need it and should be considering swapping it off.
