Yeah.. That sounds like a good plan.
However, I would put some serious thread locking compound or even some chemical metal on the threads of the bar to lower the risk of it eventually spinning..
You can actually fill and tap the higher quality metal putty compounds. Although I haven't tried it personally, I've read plenty of cases of it being done successfully. The oil filter cap is low load and low torque so it 'shouldn't be a problem.
