There's nothing like taking a dremel and attacking your dust cap with it.

You can almost get a sense how far out the screw goes
 

Even the "shorty" knobs available from ScopeStuff were not quite short enough.  Even after dimpling my cap I found the screws prevented the cap from fitting as securely as it did before.  Scope is 8" - the larger aperture scopes don't have this problem.
