Are you saying that you are using some tapped holes in the spindle face to hold Tee nuts to retain the tooling? Or are you maybe using the drive dog threaded holes? Whilst a proper repair to the drawbar seems like the correct fix, I think that a machined ring to retain an ER collet holder might be better than what I think you are describing.
