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.
