Honda has a tool that does multiple sizes of that style plug , sorry no part number.

After several failed attempts using wimpy metal I dug up a worn out mower blade and cut and shaped it to fit. The slots edges were, by then, dinged up, and I used a file tang, carefully tapped across the slot, making it the same width and allowing the mower blade to go in. The radius in the slots base is a pain. Cardboard pressed in, trimmed, rinse, repeat, until the shape hits evenly, transfer to the blade, cut to fit.
