Default Solder to Aluminum?

Hi, Antenna Guys.

My FM antenna had the wire attachment posts ripped out by the wind. I'm
wondering if I can solder to the aluminum? Then I'd epoxy over it. I'd
just try it, but I'm afraid it might pop in my face or something.

Why not just replace the posts with 4-40 or 6-32 stainless steel bolts and
nuts. Drill new holes in the aluminum if needed.
