So,,, say you have an aluminum landing gear and the holes are not
drilled correctly.
Is there a good and bad way to fill these so they can be redrilled?

any sort of welding is going to destroy the grain and the temper
strength.
if you cant drill a size larger to fit a bigger bolt size then you
should really remake them.

btw if you remake them do it in tempered spring steel. steel has three
times the strength and 3 times the weight thereabouts so making the
spring to the same strength should be about the same weight.
