@Dogtemple Yeah screw on, put on rubber O-rings before screwing on the cap. They aren't very effective, the front pitlock came off with much trouble.
@TommyRides Much appreciated, alas with the journey time from Poplar I can't make Sunday with additional hospital appointments and general exam stress.. which might tie me up all summer to be honest, if I don't get any other offers I might take you up in a few months if that's alright though

@Batt
Also lack a dremel I'm afraid, I basically just have some pliers, spanners and multitools.
Though knowing what a dremel is hopefully opens my options in case there's any about in the East@Howard
Tried to no avail (sans shouting explicatives), unfortunately the pitlocks are shaped perfectly to be impossible for thieves and key owners alike, as a smooth cone the harder I bite with the grips/pliers the faster they slide off -

So I got some Pitlock security skewers because, East London and all. Got the protective caps to add to them because of all the dirt that I worried getting in and getting crammed into the nut... however the caps themselves have locked after only about a month, maybe two. They were only hand screwed, initially very loosely as I did wonder how the hell the manufacturer intended them to be removed - then tightened slightly by hand as they were literally rattling.
Now I've got a flat on the rear I've got no choice but to address these, and for the past month I've tried wd40, rubber straps + pliers and rubber gloves to no avail. I'm not sure of any other solutions. Local bike shops quoted £20-60+ with no upper limit due to time which is a bit of a silly amount for a student, on what will be relegated to a beater bike.
With Pitlock and Wiggle unwilling to cover this expense, any other suggestions, or anyone got anything to grind down some points to bite on around E London or so?

Got a pair of brand new (came stock with bike) Fulcrum Racing Sport DB CX's, 1840g
QR front and rear, 6 bolt, designed as clinchers but word on the street (google) has people rim taping them and running tubeless with no problems
Comes with tubes and WTB Cross Boss 35c tubeless compatible tyres attached for £120 but can do without for £90 @ E14 -
As new and unused, tags, stickers and all.
Bought second hand, from another user who never used it (a curse), who kept it in storage the whole time.
It's just arrived a couple of days ago and is indeed absolutely pristine, stickers and all - I bought it with the intention of keeping it! But with me provisionally buying another bike, if it happens, this one will reluctantly have to go.
52.5cm Small frame
Selcof Carbon Fork
Fulcrum Race Sport DB CX wheels
WTB Crossboss 700 x 35c tyres
SRAM Rival 22 HRD Groupset
PX finishing
Pedals not included
Asking what I paid, £1060, as it's near a third off the already bargain £1499 price, which itself wouldn't usually get you a Ti frame - collected in East London much preferred, can be collected packed into the original box - but can post at cost
Happy to split the frame, fork, finishing... wheels and tyres for £700 (F+F alone going for £799)
Considering splitting further as long as all is accounted for:
Frameset - £600
Fulcrum CX Wheelset with WTB Cross Boss 35c Tyres (no rotors/cassette) - £110, £90 without tubes and tyres
Rival 22 HRD - £460
