I have one of those screw-on Lezyne chucks and I find it to work well with butyl or latex tubes, even with the smooth stems. Usually there's just enough threads at the top of the stem for the chuck to engage, but I unfamiliar with the HED stems. After you pump up the tire, but before you unscrew it, push the little button on the side of the chuck to let the pressure out. It won't deflate the tube and it will allow you to unscrew the head without losing pressure in the tube.
