Not exactly, I had a star nut but broke it, so replaced it with this expander type device that does the same job for carbon steerers - my sterrer is alloy, but the expander leaflet said it fits all. I'll try to take some photos and work out how to show them here, probably tomorrow.
The problem is that the expander has a part that overhangs the top rim of the steerer tube and the whole thing is stuck fast - it won't shift by brute force.
