Alright dude just as an FYI, not to be rude, but you should learn a bit more about information security. Why broadcast the key? Why not just generate the key from the nsec, that way anywhere you have your nsec you have your Monero key? No sending required. Sending it gets you nothing and potentially compromises your security. Then, you said encrypt it, encrypt it with what key? You still need a side channel to share that key.

Rule of thumb: find the simplest solution to your problem and never overcomplicate it.

So, what you want actually kind of already exists. Garnet generates a 25 word Monero mnemonic from your nsec. You can export that seed to any wallet you like. Theoretically any Monero wallet could use the same scheme garnet uses and allow you to import nsecs as Monero keys, but I don't think that's a good idea, seed export from nsec in Garnet works fine.

Generally it's not a good idea to use the same keys for different things like this. I will never use my garnet seed for this identity for anything other than xmr tipping on nostr.
