In the dead of night it occurred to me that a hole from the inside
might suffice.  That would involve drilling out the clamp screw which
faces outward and substituting something inward-facing instead.  Have
to check the dimensions and access for that -- a neat plastic plug on
the inside wouldn't bother me a bit.

The crucial element is grinding off a small tit on the lower mounting
shaft, but this is very very difficult without withdrawing the shaft first.
