Default Pinion Set Screw problem

So I recently put a Brood Frenzy in my MRC. Great motor so far. Haven't been able to make it through a pack yet because the set screw won't stay tight enough to keep from spinning the pinion loose. The shaft is splined and I read that it shouldn't be a problem as this is how it is on the Brood Anarchy as well. So I went ahead and dremeled a flat spot in the shaft to promote a better grip for the set screw. Still not enough. Any helpful thoughts?

Yeah thought of both of those things. The screw is so small the whence wears out fast....

Bingo!
A quality driver is a MUST for those tiny set screws.
