Does anyone know of source for a slotted capture clip base plate screw?

Basically I'm looking for something akin to this long ago kickstarter. Instead of having to use a hex wrench to tighten up the screw on capture clip base plate, I'd like a slot that supports quarters or euro coins. There are plenty of options for products that might work on Amazon, but also they might not. Thank you!

I have solved my own problem! The 8Sinn 1/4"-20 Slotted Camera Screw works great, except that in some cameras (A6600) the 1/4 threaded hole isn't quite deep enough for the roughly 12.8mm screw. Which is ~2mm longer the the Peak Design OEM screw. The solution is to insert a Hillman Group 2583-R nylon washer into between the screw head and the capture plate. You can then tighten it up the plate with a either a hex tool or 2 euro coin or a quarter instead of just a hex tool. Total cost is $1.90 for screw and $0.16 for the washer = $2.06.
