I would think either way will work with some clean up filing involved before painting.

I assume that the anchor is from a kit.  Most kit metal fittings are some sort of “white metal.”  This can be one of several lead or pewter based alloys.  These alloys are easy to damage with soldering heat as their melting point is close to or even less than that of the solder. Also, solder may not bond to some.

 

Thickened Epoxy should work well in this application.  I like JB weld.
