There are a couple of practical ways to repair this for a lasting repair. Any type of insert would be on my list as "last". The problem with any type of insert is there is no shoulder.
I'd suggest removing that entire bracket from the hood and welding a new "nut" in place from the reverse side.
The "nut" can be made on a small lathe (shoulder inclusive) by and decent machinist.
