"If you can't beat 'em, STRANGLE 'EM"

I recently stripped out my front thru-axle, and now I'm finally getting around to replacing it. I've used/seen on other peoples bike a type of thru axle that has a lever that is adjustable after tightening. My original axle had a little lever/allen key that was ok, but now I'm fixated on this new shiny lever. Basically one of these:

https://www.dtswiss.com/en/components/hubs-and-rws/rws/12-mm

My problem is that none of the versions of this that I have found precisely match my needed axle (thread pitch wrong on that link, for example).

I actually would be happy with just a detachable lever that did this, and went as far as to order one of the DT Swiss levers without the axle. Problem was, the lever wouldn't actually snap into my stock lever (a not stripped one for testing). So while it could turn the axle, it also would fall out pretty easily.

Does anyone have any websites or google-fu tips on finding this? maybe a specific name for this type of axle lever?
