Yes.  So do it warm.

By thermal forming I mean melting.

Here is a related posting, but one would not want to take the real
leadscrew and make it into a big self-tapping screw.  I haven't found
the videos on doing this on the actual leadscrew without damaging or
risking it.

And as others have said, no glue will stick to delrin, so the
attachment must be mechanical.
