I had the same problem.
I freed the cable by cutting a slot in the top of the post, down to the hole, cut undersize and then filed out, so the inner can be released, whilst the outer is retained when all is set up.
I need to do the same at the other (chassis) end, too, but one end is enough to sort the asssembly out.
I can't remember if there is a nut on the inside, if the backplate is threaded I don't see why a locknut on the outside shouldn't be used, particularly as to get the cable fork in line with the lever, a lot of thread is showing, as in your picture.
