Question Secure knock offs

I have Team III wheels with fake knock offs; they are a two piece assembly; the inner hub fits inside the wheel and has the male threads; the knock off spinner has female threads and a set screw through the threads that locks to the hub's male threads.

I need to remove the knock offs before I go to the track each time; I need a removable solution and locking a set screw on the male thread is not good for frequent removal. The safety wire method is undesirable.

Suggestions so far:

nylon insert under the set screw
drill hole in male thread and use set screw with dog end to fit the hole

Thread locking for set screw:

blue loctite
pink loctite
