Anyone else had difficulty getting a quill stem round the bend on compact drops?
Yes, almost everybody. Handlebars made when closed bar clamps were current technology had much larger bend radii.

Yup. I've very barely managed with some welded Salsa-style stems + coin method + 45min of cursing, but the last time the lady friend and I tried to get a pair onto a forged quill for her tourer we bent the clamp badly and it wouldn't close again.
Turns out it was a 25.4 clamp but I'd nonetheless be a bit worried about getting compacts onto proper quills.

You need a cinelli oyster. It's got a hinge that'll allow for tricky bars to be installed.
