Fred the brake line will handle the pressure easily but the issue is how you join it to your old line. There are hydraulic compression fittings that will hold the pressure. The regular brass ones will not handle the pressure for very long. If you can find the hydraulic compression fittings they work fine. They are high priced. Meaning about $20 each.
What I have done is just used a brake line union. I have the tool that makes the double flared ends on brake line. So if you have room buy a line long enough to get past your worn spot. Then you will need (2) brake line unions and two flare nuts. The new line will already have the flare nuts on it. So carefully measure and cut out the bad section. Make sure and leave enough line to make the double flared ends. Cut your line, slide the flare nuts on it and make the double flare. Then just install the unions and new line. This is a permanent fix.
Also some places that make hydraulic hose have the ends that have the 3/8 compression fittings on one side. So they can make you a short hose with the needed hydraulic compression fittings on each end. These fittings are expensive. The brake line and required fittings would not be more than $10-15 bucks. So if you have the brake line flaring tool you can do a cheaper fix.
