Completely lame of Gibson not to support the guitar in such a case. I won't comment on the low quality because it is a thing on nearly everything today. Was it the original tailpiece or was it replaced like the strap button?
Don't give up on the guitar so easily, find a local luthier and ask them for a solution!

It's the original tailpiece and it seems pointless to me to replace it with another poorly made tailpiece that will most likely break again, or bodging together a different tailpiece not designed for the guitar and drilling new holes, etc. This is an unusual model and finding this style of tailpiece designed for a thinline guitar seems hopeless. It's a real bummer. Guitar just sitting in a case now until something pops up or I get a bright idea. I do think I'll go and visit my local luthier.

They can be dealt with in multiple ways. I wouldn't worry about some small holes in a guitar I liked, but I'm not everyone.
