a set screw in one side would allow the use of different size shanks.

use some beeswax just poke them in a piece every once in a while also get a small block of wood and use it right next to your chisels when pulling them out, it's much easier than using your fingers by themselves.

You would be better suited to buy harness needles specifically for hand stitching as well as the correct thread. I use John James No. 2 needles and Ritza tiger thread however I sew heavy lethers, holsters, sheaths, belts, etc. Others will chime in I'm sure of their favorites.

It's because you do not know this simple secret. Use your needles to stretch the hole. As the first needle gets about halfway through, stop and wiggle it up and down rather aggressively. This will stretch and enlarge the hole enough so your thread and needle will go through easily.
