A shim made from a Coke can has worked for me for well over ten years on my
BN1/2
Or remove the collets and modify to allow more pinch or have a machinist
crosshatch the shaft

I believe that the discussion moved away from that which I originally
suggested and discussed adapters without the side screws.
Have a look at the following
http://www.vintagecarparts.co.uk/part.phtml?PartID=2787
This is similar to that which I described but the ones I used had a
second screw set at 90 degrees.
I used these about 45 years ago on an A70 Hereford and as you know the
wipers on these are virtually the same as an Atlantic. Filing two flats
at 90 degrees was quite easy if I recall. It certainly stopped any slip.
