So, I need to enlarge and fill some screw holes on a backing block for some deck hardware so that I can drive wood screws in but not penetrate the backing block (teak).

You don't need to tap epoxy, it's a liquid! All you need to do is make sure it cures in the right shape.

You can modify G/Flex to where it might hold threads, but not the best product for that. I've had excellent luck tapping things like G-10, Phenolic and pull-truded laminates and marginal luck tapping anything else with glass in it.

If you're going to cast in place, use a stand-in screw 1/4" longer than the final. That way you don't bottom out a little short of tight when you do the deed.

I'm not a big fan of casting in place. Maybe it's just me but I find it's too easy to either over lube the fastener and end up with a suboptimal thread or underlube it and have it stick. Drilling and tapping a hole only takes a couple of minutes and you end up with known good threads.

Slot the base
I drilled four holes in a receiver for mounting a scope base and two of them are off by ~1mm. There are two sets of two holes. The rear two are OK and holding the base pretty securely; the front two are misaligned.

Good idea, kludge the base, not the gun. -nt-
Machine the holes into slots so the base adjusts to the holes you have. JB is good stuff but it won't work on a partial hole.
Stainless??? not sure that's a good idea
cut flush to the top of the receiver, epoxy in, drill and tap in correct location. I'd probably use stainless steel fill screws.
