Chirochris,
do yourself a favor - PLEASE DON'T WELD IT!!!!!!
You can get cheapo aftermarket shifters at you local bike shop - Emgo makes one that will fit. Or you could order and OEM, but they can be pricey - upwards of $50. Or you could put an ad in the classifieds here on the boards and someone will sell you one - or check Ebay - but please please do not weld it.

Do Not Weld It! Way too many people do it and it just causes more problems.

Are the splines totally stripped ? or still have a little bit of bite ?
Sometimes you can get by with widening the gap where the bolt goes thru to allow a bit more torque by the bolt.. but a new shifter is cheap and well worth it.. avoid the welding option if at all possible.

just drill a hole through the shifter and the shaft then put a bolt through. that way its still removeable and it cant slip
