I haven't had a chance to look yet but I wonder if Holley makes a composite accelerator pump cover that doesn't absorb heat so easily?
Yes, that would work BUT extremely risky, way more accurate to drill a hole.

The place for the bleed orifice is already there just not drilled through.

.013 from memory, number 80 drill.
