What kind of frame do you have?
You could simply tap a thread in the other hole and spin the stop around.

yeah, you drill and tap it to some larger size, then thread in an insert the original size.

S&M also uses a little welded in plate that is most likely thick enough to heli-coil.

Eggit2:
This is a pop rivet with built in threads for a water bottle cage.
You may be able to track one down that is the right size for the cable stop screw.
