Will that hold the weight? That's a lot of motor hanging out there.

Not the screws in the endbell, the endbell in the can is stripped. So the threads of the endbell itself and the corresponding threads in the motor can are stripped. (Its a screwed on endbell)

a kb45 sized rcm heatsink/clamp would work

JB Weld is quite gangsta, if you get it clean, and use the original formula jb, not the quik, it will work well. I have fixed all kinds of stuff with jb, especially for high heat it is about the best stuff out there.
