Round shafts through those bushings with a much smaller OD.

It's not a square shaft, It is the shaft that comes with the tetrix kit with a flat spot. If I lathe down the shaft smaller I would still run into the problem of contact with the pole and the friction required to go up it with out slipping. I place rubber electrical tap over this shaft which is legal but there is nothing else small enough that is legal.
