The stainless steel set screw we use, actually bites into the aluminum a bit which creates a more solid connection.

We found on the STI's, that the movement left to right is significant enough that having a smooth flat "cap" may still allow for some movement. So our cup point set screw, serves two purposes, which both reduce the movement. Also keep in mind that those parts are very thick and they will not cause damage to the MC.
been looking into MCB and came across this thread...
correct me if I'm wrong..but from your explanation, if the MCB moves not only vertically but horizontally and the set screw 'bites' into the aluminum then will it not carve/wear it away and cause room for movement?
