Sure, just get a mill file, hold the end pin in a vise or a clamp (clamp this clamp to a table or workbench) and file a groove around the rod. If you have access to a bench grinder or edge sander you could do a similar thing with a machine, spinning the rod against the rotating tool. Of course, one would wear safety glasses for either approach; metal filings (or airborne metal dust) are no joke...
