Just to confirm: The threaded PEM nut at the far end of the AXT1 tripod adapter
has 4-40 threads. To use it as a tie point for a counterpoise wire, all you'd
need is a 4-40 thumb screw as others have mentioned. The AXT1 has two
additional unthreaded 1/8" (3 mm) holes which should help with

Most of them have a "tool" (card) to determine screw and thread sizes -
use it and buy the appropriate thumbscrew or other fastener.
To help you a bit, I would say that the screw thread is either 4-40,
