I'm pretty sure that it is generally accepted that threads/grooves/spikes/etc are not the solution. It is better to maximize the surface area and generate uniform pressure over it. The wrap-around clamp design by the guy who refurbishes prop pitch rotors is a good example of that.

You could also bend your own from all-thread. I've bought it in the past from 
my local big box store. I think, without any engineering data at all, the 
having threads bearing on the mast would give a slightly better grip. Then 
there's the slipp-nott http://www.tennadyne.com/slipp_nott.htm

Good luck & 73.
