Sure welding and machining, but trying to think of a more production way of doing it.
Could they machine, or stamp out the pivot hole to a larger rectangle and then a press fit plug. Exact location would be less important than size, so a punch could be used instead of milling.
That would prevent someone just drilling a hole as the plug would fail. Don't need to make conversion impossible, just cross the line away from redily convertable. And change out the fire control.
At that point it wouldn't be any easier to make full auto than any other AR platform.

Of course non of this matters with a change by congress
