If the header plate uses epoxy to seal the tubes (many do) you would be well advised to eliminate the offending tube rather than attempt to weld it. Also, if you haven't already, consider welding a small pad on one of the tanks and attach a ground wire to avoid electrolosis & corrosion after re-installation.
BTW, I am in the same situation regarding overcooling. Unless I am in the throttle the radiator has more capacity than necessary. Sometimes I block off part of it.
