A bit unconventional, but you might get away with it. Might not. Some
epoxies soften just below the boiling point of water, but IIRC most are
starting to lose their strength as low as 150F. Plus, they aren't known
for being the best heat-conductive material.

If you find it doesn't work out, you can get some 5W resistors that are
meant to bolt  on a heat sink or chassis. Then you can also use some good
heatsink grease. I'm using some I got from digikey. Go to their website
and try this number:

TMC5-1.0-ND

Get some tiny screws (#4 or smaller?), some heatsink grease, and you
should be set.
