The only fix is 7 hours or so you also change the cambelt to take that bit off.

I had the same thing on my 182, had to have the cambelt off etc. It was all under warranty so wasn't too bad. The car seemed to have a tiny bit of heavy idle though after, but there was nothing I could do / get changed to fully cure it.

I'd stick with the superglue option.

Don't go supergluing.

I did hear that some dealers quick fix was to take out 1 bolt at a time and put loctite under the flange head of the bolt.
