Mine is a long bolt I thread fully into the starnut and use the shank as both a guide and driver. Once the starnut is flush with the top od the steerer, I unthread the bolt, add the top cap and replace the bolt. Then the top cap is used as a centering guide while I drive the nut to the final depth.
