The right epoxy will do the trick. The board should be clean enough; you know that's part of the final PCB assembly process.
I understand Randall but there is a gap all around the port and anything can get in there, it needs to be scrubbed clean before attempting to epoxy AND you need the pcb out the casing to make sure none of the epoxy even touches the case or you will never be able to get apart the device again without breaking it apart.
