  You don't need to do this! Try this:
  \font\bgreek=cmmib10 % bold symbols at 10 pt (see p430 of TeXbook for font)
  \def\balpha{\hbox{\bgreek\char`013}} % gives a bold alpha, etc.
  Now you can say $$x = \balpha$$.

yes, in fact i use PMB only for the script and scriptscript sizes. (I
use vectors in exponents, too).
