Are you able to drill it out? Although obviously this could be tricky because you would need to ensure that the whole isn't made bigger. If it's a screw holding the element in place I would speculate that it is quite necessary. The element is likely to expand when it gets really hot. It could also move and shake around a lot during spinning. That would potentially damage it as it is usually filled with a ceramic or powder which could crack.
