With the cheap adapters: Remove the spring, use a gentle thread locker to mount the adapter to the lens, use one adapter per lens and semi permanently convert them to K mount. Use the kind of thread locker that can be removed later.
I have had little trouble with my Kalt adapter from the 60's. So if you go third party I suggest older vintage adapters.
The original Pentax is still the best overall.
