It can be done, though - I once had to change the headblock casting on a Studer, no less, because an operator went mad with the azimuth screw and stripped the mating thread, which was tapped direct into the block.

Dual capstan transports, properly adjusted, reduce the need for tweaking because they remove the influence of the shell on azimuth
