Help fixing a bead leak

I just put new tires on a set of used aluminum rims. Three of the tires are fine, but one leaks around the bead. It loses about 5 psi a day.

Is there a way to seal this up? Can you break the tire down and put permatex or some kind of sealer on the bead?

I don't think I can (or want) to put a tube in it, because of the valvestem.

I should mention it's on a daily driver (not a drag car).

Any suggestions?
