In my opinion your best bet is to get it repaired professionally.
The frames TM is on about have been calculated properly to allow for strength and flex with careful planning, not just "yeah, it should be fine!". Your weakest point of your frame should not be the hardest, could be pretty dangerous when it gives.
Indra, a certain frame builder owes me a favor or two after painting frames for them, want me to ask if he can sort this for a good price?
