I was wondering this morning if it might be worth trying a 14mm Sugino hex bolt instead.
14 and 15 mm bolts have different thread dimensions so I do not recommend using the wrong size.
I would just forget about using dust caps (I don't use them on my track bike). Alternately take your existing bolts to a machinist and have them thin down the head (you could also machine down a socket at the same time). My bike has campy cranks but is at the velodrome so unable to check bolt size.
