I have all manner of neodymium magnets, I'll put one on the outside end of the oil drain plug, (round and fits perfectly) but never inside. Since I know better than to do this, then I know that the magnet will magically fly off into the gears....if I do!

I guess you could glue on on the end of the bolt but I'd rather have one purpose built/pressed into the end of the bolt.
