Some several weeks back, somebody suggested using dice as tuner peg buttons.
So, eventually, I gave it a try.
Nip off the factory button, as close to the shaft as possible, so that a bit of sideways leverage will cause the shaft to break through the remaining plastic.
Pre-set the gap in the vise, pick up the shaft with pliers, and get the end to a soft glow.
Then, while the shaft is good and hot, press it into the hole, and commence to squeeze.
And just to be clever about it, I drilled the dice so that the number on the outside surface is the number of the string.
And here's what it looks like, assembled.
Not better, but different.

And maybe somebody will say that my playing sounds like crap-shoot!
But, like Jerry Reed says about dice games:
===================
"When you're hot, you're hot!
When you're not, you're not!
Put ALL the money in,
And let's roll 'em again!
When you're hot, you're hot!
