There are a number of solutions for the latter -
1. Use locking wheel hexes - these stop the hex hubs being forced onto the wheel bearing.
2. Find a suitable crush tube - this stops the inner and outer bearings from being pushed together
3. Sand down the back of the hex hubs, so the slot for the axle pin is shallower.

Good stuff. I just think it's the poor plastic quality is wearing the hex down. It's just odd that everyone has the same problem, and always with the same wheel.
