It is replaceable. It is like a smalle screw with a square (well it was) head.
But to get at it I would need to take the radiator off as it is on
the back of the rad. Would soldering a piece onto the screw work so I wouldn't have to take the damn thing off?

Doubt it.
My house had a similar problem and the previous owner had drilled a small hole on the opposite side. He had then used a self tapper/washer/rubber washer.
I never did it and probably would've took the rad off.
In all fairness though I lived there 6 years and it never gave me any problems. I think it was probably a temporary job that lasted.
