Rethread the sheet, and you have end-boom sheeting. When I am by myself, I just remove that fitting, replace with standard block and run line down to standard cam. No epoxy, no holes, and sail shape does not seemed to be negatively affected. Have a picture of it somewhere.

This is perfectly convenient for me, the skipper, but I notice that if I have crew aboard they must step over or around the sheet when moving from side to side. Has anyone rerouted the sheet, moving it aft a foot or two on the boom and then straight down to a block installed on the cockpit floor, thereby leaving space for the crew to move unimpaired? If yes, any advice on how to do it? I am thinking that I would first fasten (epoxy plus screws) a wood square to the cockpit floor, then attach the new block and cleat with screws or recessed bolts.
