.005" is about the thickness of two sheets of thin paper and not all holes are perfectly concentric. They may press in with some resistance anyway, if not, I would be inclined to use Green Loctite retaining compound, a permanent product used for engine sleeves and other components, instead of welding. I believe you can still remove with heat for future replacement, or you could use red.

An installed ball joint is not going to fall out, so you just want to be sure it is not working itself around in hole.
