change the stringing on my RX since I don't think I can get
the stop peg out without damaging the cap.


I really don't see why you have a problem. All the bandspread cap does is
finetune a space around the center freq. To use it correctly, you leave it
set at 50, and then you can finetune either up or down. The stringing will
only affect which side is up or down. Obviously, you want less than 50 to
be down, so string it so it gains capacitance (lowers frequency) as you
tune down.
