Not an X-spurt, but I have built a couple of FAL, AR, & AK kit builds.
I think the quick method would be to use a reverse bit kit to blackout the staked screws.

As for the gas port/block:
1) Incert a short piece of the gas tube upside down in the gas block and add JBL to secure it
2) Spikes ST-22 (22LR) uses a portless gas block, as does other 22LR AR variants
3) Use an adjustable gas block with the vent closed
4) JB weld the gas port
