Yes, socket*less* cap screws. As in no hole to insert a hex key, but other wise

the same shape and height as the head on a socket head cap screw. Roughly 5/16"

What about just chucking up hex headed bolts in your lathe and turning the head to be round? No lathe, then clamp a bit to the drill press table and use your drill press as a lathe.
