I have a new carbon roadbike frame with in the head tube a cable stop built in.

From the outside of the headtube the outercable ends in it, and then it guides the innercable through the frame.

This cablestop (alu hollow tube) can be seen at the inside of the headtube. It's partly uncovered and I think it’s a bad construction. Vulnerable for breakingout (see image)

 

I want to cover it on the inside with tiny pieces of carbon so the cable stop will be totally locked up on all sides.

 

Think I only need a few pieces of carbon of 2 x 4 cm and some resin and hardener.

What do you advise me?

Hope you can help me out

I would also suggest sending it back to where you purchased it from if it is a brand new frame as you don't want to do anything to void the warranty.  
Also, when we talk about corrosion, carbon fibre directly touching aluminium parts speed up the corrosion of the aluminium.  This can lead to things like seat posts getting stuck in the frame.  Most manufacturers will wrap aluminium parts like the bottom bracket shell in glass to stop this happening before they are put into the frame.
