One trick I came up with is to use a shorter than normal set-screw, and 
put a cylindrical piece of brass or plastic that matches the internal 
diameter of the setscrew threads into the screw hole underneath the 
set-screw. The screw pushes on the cylindrical 'key' allowing use of 
shafts with key slots, and will still shear off the way a key would, but 
probably at a lower torque. You could use a fatter set-screw to get the 
key width up and mill flats on it if you were so inclined...
