I went to my LHS and found a 2mm x 6 Dubro screw that fits perfectly and engages all the threads and allows you to actually clamp them down as designed.
Thx for the info. I actually picked up ASC31511 M2x5mm capheads because I noticed the screw on the AE clamping hexes for the TC6 are the same as the JC hexes. I haven't tried them yet since it's just for my spare hex set. I don't even race my SC10 anymore so it may be a while before it even gets used.
Also, I have not seen anyone strip the actual hex, just the screws. It's odd because some of the capheads that it comes with are fine, but some do not go as deep as the others which is what causes the screw to get rounded out.
