Adrian, I read a trick many years ago, but have not tried it myself. Cut a strip from a 2-liter bottle and sleeve the stanchion base. I would do it to not interfere with the set screw.

Before I order eight new ones, I'm wondering if anyone has tried filling the socket with epoxy and either setting the stanchion in the wet epoxy, or letting the epoxy set and re-drilling for the stanchion?
