Find a radiator shop that still does real radiator work. Hard to find anymore, usually they specialize in heavy equipment more than automotive.

Pull the radiator, take it to them, they should be able to do something with it. Won't be cheap, make sure they know you are willing to pay and are serious about fixing it.

soft solder a patch on it.

penny makes a good patch.. so does a tin tab.

I'm with ET , cut a little patch from an aluminum can , clean the area real good and slap on the JB Weld . After it hardens , you can sand smooth if it shows ...
