Is that the only good way? Any other clever ideas? Any good excuse
to
buy a new tool?

If you are looking for new toys you could consider a small toolmaker's
insert vise to clamp the part with both ends accessible.

The outside of the vise is precision ground to serve as reference
surfaces when you clamp it in a larger vise. They are especially handy
for milling at the precise angles you can set up with in an angle
block kit:

Thanks. I actually have the poor man's version, which is a small
Palmgren vise I trued up. That would work, but I think the Vee block is
still the winner.
