I play an '81 Sunburst with very microphonic DiMarzios – they are so microphonic I can hardly play them with a real amp, I'm using a Helix and in-ear headphones most of the time.
You can turn the bobbin screws without using a screwdriver.
I thought about wax potting them but after reading this article I searched for "microphonic dimarzios bobbin screws" and some people write about fixing the screws with silicone rings or teflon tape. Oil City Pickups suggest putting clear nail polish around the junction of each of the pole screw.
What is your experience with these old DiMarzios? Is there a way to tame them without wax potting them?

Oil City Pickups describe it very well here.
