Loose threaded insert on tail piece

I'm refurbing my Heritage H150 and one of the threaded bushes on the tailpiece is spinning when I try to tighten the screw.  The hole is basically still 'round' but I'd like a recommendation on what glue to use to hold the thing in.

    High strength epoxy.

    When you do it, screw the post all the way down into the insert, and put a little grease on the end of it - that will stop glue being forced up inside the thread or sticking to the post.
