I have an application where a 1" dia. shaft is hard to R-62 and a part
is attached with two opposing 3/8" cup-point set screws. The part has
a cam follower on it and rotating the part on the shaft then locking
it with the set screws is a positioning adjustment. There is about 75
pounds of force on the part. I hate this set-up! I just don't trust
it not to slip but I can't think of a better way of locking the part
on the shaft yet be able to adjust it easily.

Split ring clamp?

If you like set-screws, you can use a conical tipped screw in an
off-center hole so the side of the cone engages the side of the shaft.

You can also grind a shallow groove in the shaft where the screw makes
contact and leave it with a rough finish. Then use a brass-tipped screw
that would bite into the finish.

No, I don't like set screws for this. I like the different clamp style
parts!
