Your original method---epoxy the hole, insert the screw---will work quite well if you coat the screw with Stop-Off first. If you can't find Stop-Off, wrap the screw threads tightly with teflon tape before installing. It will not have the holding power of base metal, but will provide minimum clamping force.
