Oh, hadn’t considered that. If I can make it a tight-enough fit for the pin, there wouldn’t even be any play in the rod. Thanks for the idea. :)

That is what roll pins or taper pins are used for. You likely don't have a tiny taper reamer so use a roll pin.

As the other poster said, use a roll pin. I would use blue loctite anyway, tighten your thread, then drill for a small roll pin. Will last forever, but could be taken apart with a punch and a bit of grunt if you had to.
