Other than making sure the engine was not contaminated with chips from cutting the threads, it seems like a threaded plug could be installed with the camshaft in the engine, and perhaps with the engine in the car depending on clearance. The trick would be to make sure none of the chips generated by cutting threads into the camshaft remained in the engine. Capturing them in thick grease during cutting, and then using a wet dry vac with a vacuum hose to remove the grease and chips might do the trick. It would be very bad for the engine to leave any chips behind, but from where you are now it might be worth a shot to see if it is feasible. Worst case you're back to taking the cams out.
