I've heard you can use a circular piece of medal, larger then the hole, with some liquid metal. You put enough liquid metal on the piece and then stick it to the opposite side of your hole, letting it ooze out. Then you can grind it down and bondo that.

This process is used to patch up molding holes on the body. I've never done it myself though.

Bondo will go through without welding it. You might be able to get away with using some sort of liquid metal with a washer underneath. Or you could look into panel bond adhesive which is basically chemical welding.

Panel bond adhesive

It is stronger than a weld if done right, and the process is almost the same as simply gluing things together and clamping them.

Don't do it. It is more headache than it is worth. Use CF to cover the holes.

CF is carbon fiber...I don't see how that would be a better idea.
