It's your bike, do what you want...
But, is the outer surface of the inner primary even where that lock nut would be located? You would also probably benefit from using a little silicone sealer, like with the other bolts which have open threads, or in the transmission case. And, next time you take it off, remember what you did with that bolt. That brings up, if you sell it, are you going to tell the buyer what you did? I'd think re-doing the heli coil would be best...

yes, the outer surface of the inner-primary; not selling this one anytime too much $$ into it and it's one the last carb'ed bikes out there
