How about a third?
I'm no EE (I'd like to be, but that's another story), so take this with
a grain of salt.
Use kapton tape to cover the holes. That will resist the heat the down
and up side being that you have to manually apply and remove it
afterwards and it will not leave a trace like epoxy so you can use the
VIA holes.
