You will likely have to drill and tap the shaft for the screw.

usually the screw is more of a set screw to hold the handle on the shaft. I have use Lokar handles and that's how they worked.

Early type 3s have this problem too. What I did was drill out the stamped area of the pin from the back side (removing it), and just added a little loctite to the screw to assemble it. I got the billet knobs from Mid America though, and the screws from my local hardware store. Much cheaper that way. 
I hope this helps.
