You can get narrow shank Sergents, either on their own or with their own boxes, which are about the same width as a 
"typical" centersill. I've started using these on my resin kits, which generally lack the pockets anyway.

So you don't have to put them into standard pockets, any more.

Also, I've had some success coaxing them into mating with Kaydee #58s, YMMV.
