Turning a locator pin into 3/8" screw?...

I've got a TLS VCT-14 adapter plate on its way, but was just wondering if there is any way of turning its locator pin into a 3/8" screw?

Or is it possible to replace the locator pin with a screw of the same diameter, then use a 3/8" screw adapter (if one exists) on top of that?

I want to be able to attach the TLS plate to my Zacuto baseplate using both the 1/4" and 3/8" screw threads.

The locator pin is apparently removable...

Only problem is, the locator pin is a LOT smaller than a 3/8" screw, so removing the locator pin and replacing it with a screw of the same diameter would mean an adapter of some sort to turn the end of the smaller screw into a 3/8" screw would be required... Unless I just drill a 3/8" hole in place of the locator pin, but I really don't fancy risking that.

Thats what id do, a locator pin is 4mmish in diamter, youd have to drill the hole out to even fit a 1/4in screw through...
