Not sure I'd go the glue gun route - that's where your hands rest on the hoods so any bump would be noticeable.
If you're trying to bodge it I'd probably try adding some plumber's tape to the screw to give it a snug fit as you place it in the bleed port, then wrap over the top of the screw and around the lever body with electrical tape to get a good seal. When you tape the bars it should be covered so you won't notice it

so any bump would be noticeable.
The fact my beautiful S-Works SL7 isn't being / hasn't been ridden is more noticeable.
It's definitely screwed. I think i'm going to go belt and braces here.
- PTFE around Screw for snugger fit.
- Hot glue the fuck out of it.
- Round it off with a wrap of electrical tape.
Literally no stock anywhere for left hand or pairs of levers :(

I digress.
The brake is the thin line between stopping and breaking (pun intended) you.
Swallow the bitter pill and get a replacement, nothing brakes is a no no.
Hot glue gun - was the bonding surface cleaned thoroughly of brake fluid? One of many other questions...
Tl;dr: replace the unit OP and give yourself the piece of mind.

My inspiration in picture form - having just seen an obviously crash damaged lever go on eBay for £143!!
Turns out you can't swap out the levers on these, so lucky escape there. But im 100% throwing mine on eBay when i can track down a spare... mugs.
