ROFL. And this is based off what? I'll bet you lunch it holds.
Fast forward to where he is drops metal plates on the stud. Then go back and look how OP needs this thing to add a tiny amount of support to a plastic fender liner.

JB Weld will not hold.

A shocking number of people use jbweld incorrectly. Do it right (prep surfaces, mix proper ratios, use the correct version of jbweld, allow ample cure time) and it's practically as good as welding in many, many independent tests.

Update: I bought small 1/16 spring pin. Drill 1/16 holes into stud and body. Dip the end on pin into Red loctite and press it into stud. Did a dry fit into body, and it holds pretty good. Clean everything with Lacquer Thiner, and glued everything together with JB weld. Now I have to wait 24 hours to see the result. Keeping my fingers crossed

Not to be negative, but I have to ask.
You seem like a handy fellow. Why not just drill out the remains of the broken stud from the body. Use a tap to groove some threads into the hole and screw in a new stud using some JB Weld as a thread locker? That would yield a solid permanent repair.

Thanks to everybody for help. The pilot pin and JB weld works great. Everything is back together. I took the car for 50 miles drive, and no issue so far :-)

Thanks for the update! I will try to tackle a similar fix sometime this winter. Much appreciated.

I'd have used a rivnut and a stud... it's what they are for...
