Generally, the Lyman/Ideal hollow base pins I’ve seen are held in a socket in the wood by a cross pin driven through a hole located and drilled through the side. Where the excess was cut off can usually be seen in the middle of a scuffmark on the ferrule part of the wood.
Is the crosspin in place? That it might be missing is the only reason I can think of for the wood coming loose. If there isn’t one, it can be drilled on a drill press and crosspinned with a brad or nail of the right size.
there is no cross pin on this one. is there any epoxy that would hold up to the heat
My first choice would be none other than J B High temp epoxy, available from Amazon for less than nine U S dollars.
An alternative might be a product by Masterbond ( https://www.masterbond.com/tds/ep17ht-lo ) -- their #17 high temperature: EP17HT which might work for you.
HOWEVER, again, I think I'd be tempted to try some JB Weld. Note -- just my thoughts...
BEST!

ACE Hardware carries J-B too.
Why put money in jeff bezos pocket if ya can buy it local.
