I think that I would epoxy the endcap on and then put a 3mm screw or rivet into the wet epoxy. It wouldn't matter that the screw did not engage the threads as it is in shear (But a very light load). Out of preference I would use one of those "Liquid Metal" epoxys
Thanks, bob46320. Good idea.
I suppose that since the purpose of the screw, like the 'pip', is only to stop the endcap sliding off sideways, a grubscrew would work?
