"3M 5200 is an adhesive and designed to attach something, not fill holes per se."

According to the manufacturer, 3M 5200 is an adhesive and sealant. The question was what should be used to fill "small holes". I have seen and used 5200 to seal holes in fiberglass that were as large as 1/8" with no problems whatsoever. Dap it into the hole with a small wire or toothpick and smooth it over with your finger. If cosmetics are an issue, it looks like Gorilla will work. I would probably top it with some Spectrum Color patch paste to match the look of the fiberglass.
