Need help re Quad 909 Binding Posts

I would like to replace them but the shop I have used locally (ACI in the metro Washington, DC area) does not want to take on the job. Any suggestions for shops in MD or VA suburbs of DC, or in DC? (The posts don't take anything other than bare wire very well, and even that method of connection gives me pause, because the holes in the posts do not go all the way through.) Thanks!

The plugs are out, so in theory the binding posts will take banana plugs. But I am finding that Vampire's SB bananas, which lock on to my Premier 11A binding posts just fine, do not lock on to the 909 very well. Maybe I need to try the BFA style or Nordost Z or Audioquest plugs.

Thanks for all the suggestions!

Thanks again. btw, I tried Roc-doc's approach with a couple of spades, and it seemed to work, so I may remove the Vampire SB bananas and go with the spades. I use Vampire ST III cables, which are 8 gauge, and some BFA plugs, e.g., at least one of the Audioquests, won't take more than 10 gauge.
