What's the best way to fix a daisy wheel that has broken the center, rivet.
Screw, washer and nut or pop rivet?

What kind of stainless locknut?  The ones I see in the stores use nylon. I assume that would melt.

Instead of locknut, what about lock washer and regular nut? Those can be SS.

I've never seen any prevailing-torque locknuts in my local hardware stores. They might hide them, if they have them at all.

Many different types of prevailing torque locknuts. Readily available at fasteners specialty stores. I use them for the taco handle and lid bale.
Samples from Lok-Mor below.
