Julius,
Find a 5-way binding post with a 6-32 threaded stud and screw it into the
hole where the grounding screw normally mounts. Take a 6-32 nut along to
the local hamfest - caution, some of the threads on the new binding posts
are metric sizes.

This may be silly, but one of the things that I don't
like about my K2 and KAT-100 is the grounding screw.
What I would really like to see is a standard screw
type Banana Jack. It is more of an issue for me as I
move the rig back and forth between two QTH's and that
is the most difficult part of the task. (I know, Do
you want some cheese with that whine?
The little plastic topped screw is just too small. I
replaced both of those recently with computer case
screws that have bigger and easier to grip plastic
tops. There were made to replace case screws on
computers to alow easier access. I found a little bag
of 'em I bought a while back and they're the same
thread as the Elecraft supplied part, much easier to
grip. PEM makes them.
Cheers,
Julius
