If the posts and balls are metal, the panel sockets are going to crack
because there will not be any give in the shaft. If the ball and shaft
is replaced with a solid pin, the panel sockets will get damaged
because the socket will have to flex to conform to the pin.

What he said :-).

I like the idea of an X cut in the ball.

What do folks think of the idea of thickening the shaft, terminating it in a hemisphere, but then cutting half-way down the result with a Y or X shaped cut? The cut would hopefully allow the result to flex and taper into the socket, providing plenty of grip without actually tearing anything up.
