cut out the bung, weld a plate over the hole, then weld in a new bung?

next time you need to remove an exhaust clamp or xhaust sensor, heat it up with a torch until it glows nice and red all the way through it before turning the fitting. Just a suggestion.

always use Anti-sieze when re-installing to prevent those kind of problems.

then I would find a pipe fitting at home depot and make an adapter of some sort.

I'm a firm believer in the saying where there's a will there's a way. A good radiator shop sjoild be able to braze a brass fitting in. A weld shop with a decent welder could install a piece of barstock and drill n tap it for you.

Brass and brazing will fail with DPF temperature.

Google DPF bung repair. They are everywhere. Another tip, after you heat it red hot pour cold water on on it. Use a line wrench. Overkill but I have a set of sockets that are like line wrenchs. Same socket idea used years ago on PLN enginges.

Wouldn’t pouring cold water on it shrink it and make it brittle. I would think heat the bung. Concentrate the heat on the bung. Then when you start to see redness that’s hot enough. The expansion in the bung should release. There’s a lot of ways to skin a cat though I guess.
