Well..... My opinion on what I would do is simple enough. First I would determine exactly where the mag feed lips are to that hole while in battery. Take the follower out and pack the hole and surrounding area with a layer of play dough. With the mag in place, slowly push the bolt into lock up over oil wet mag lip. open the upper and remove the bolt. make a determination of how many thousandths of clay still covers the hole. Do about a 2.5 second mig weld burn over the hole and cut the weld to an appropriate thickness skin to cover the hole and then rebore that area of the FP hole to only clean out any interior weld. To keep the heat treat distortion to a small area around the hole, a cold wet towel wrap should be used around the bolt. With it being a 9mm, a small weld dot in that part of the bolt would be insignificant to the functional reliability of the bolt.
