Kevin,
You do not need to make a slot. Pinch the end so there is a flat (like a screw driver). You may need to put a steel wire partially into the aluminum tube so that the pinched section does not extend down too far. Then you can make a socket out of brass tubing, also by pinching the end of the tube. I put some colorful heat shrink tubing on the socket tube for a better grip and so that I do not misplace the tool. I do this to the nylon screws I use. This has worked quite well for me in F1D for the past several years as the socket aligns itself quickly and does not slip off.
Did you cut the thread with a die?
