I haven't used zeros but I've put in 200s and 400s in 2 different nitto quills. Like Pedder's picture, remove the bolt and slightly pry the quill (I used a big flathead) when you get to the bend. It really requires only a tiny bit of force for a second or 2. If you've stressed it enough to weaken the stem than it probably won't align with the bolt anymore anyway. But I'd imagine you'd have to really man handle a steel quill stem to do that in the first place. You could also grease the elbows a bit and wiggle it in with some force. It'll go through but you'll definitely scratch up the bars.
