I believe that many of the tool kits that came with our cars when new,
included a #8 or #10 set screw for this purpose...but most of the time it
didn't work back then either for the reasons you discovered. In fact, the
mechanics in the dealerships would just pry them off by jamming in a
screwdriver and levering, thereby destroying the cap. To avoid this damage,
I brazed a nut to the inside of my caps to make the job easier next time.
