A metric socket worked OK for me, provided it's deep enough to fit the
wrench into the socket without fouling the pot shaft (sometimes need to just
place the end of the wrench into the socket without pushing it all the way
home, but be careful).  Sorry, I don't recall the size.

Pliers are dangerous but as a last resort you might try protecting the
surrounding area of case with some card and be *extremely* careful while you
tighten the nut.  If you're going to slip, try to make sure to keep
scratches within the area that will be covered by the knobs!
