Absolutely. Adding friction is about the easiest thing in the world; reducing it is the real trick.
Here's one way: Put a wheel on the hex shaft, using a standard AM hex hub and wheel (e.g.
this wheel and
this 1/2" hub or
this 3/8" hub. Then, find some way to put drag on the wheel. You could press a scrap of carpet up to it, drive a screw into it, or clamp a cable tie or
fence hinge around it.
