Same Issue on my RTR
Can't believe I had the same problems on my Losi. Ended up doing the exact same thing. Cutting off the hubs with a Dremel. Didn't think of calling Losi though and just swallowed the bill.
Upgraded the complete car from chassis to titanium everything, stainless screws etc.. and now, I am the happy owner of a Losi 8 2.0 + 1 highly modded Losi 8B with everything you can think of to make it what I should have bought in the first place.
I couldn't even get my wheels off at first!!! Used all kinds of tools to fix that too...

then all you have to do is remove any excess material from the driveshalft and replace the set screw NO PROBLEM
I've had to do this a couple of times and it always works

I agree, the included allen wrenches will screw up your screws
Losi service is great too, but you should aprroach your complaints differently,
I have rounded out allen screws on the first try, especially locktighted ones
Dont let this first experience frustrate you, your wrenching skillz will improve in time!
You could check Bmainhobbies.com they have gobs of losi parts, great prices, fast shipping and awesome customer service

One great thing about this sport
have you approached any of the other guys @ your track? While you wait for Losi to resolve the issue, I'm sure you'd get the same response/help that you're getting here, only local. I'd be suprised if no one stepped up to help you.
