In the past I've found it to be a relatively straightforward matter to reduce the size of the 'plastic spindled' variety of pot so that the knob is a nice tight push-on fit.

I just emailed the maker (why I never did before is beyond me) and they are sending one free of charge so that's hopefully a result

It looks like Rapid Electronics might have what you are looking for

You could try swapping the original for the 10K or 47K version. For a mere 38p it would be worth trying it out. My guess is you wouldn't notice a whole lot of difference (if at all) over the 20K version.
