NP. Anyway how often do you intend to remove/reinstall the brake? Like I said in my other post I think a starnut would be a pain to remove because you'd have to take the handlebar stem out and bash a bit of pipe down. If the starnut gets properly stuck in there, your forks will take a battering.
If, on top of the brake stem thing, you could get/make something like a screw anchor that opens up like an umbrella inside the steerer, you'd have the security of the 'cutting' action of a starnut but more easily removable because it'd only be one little hex bolt on the underside of the brake mount.
