Yes I don't like that either !

The better solution is to make a paper circle the same diameter as the mirror.

Fold it in half twice so it looks like a quarter of a circle. You then cut a millimetre or two of the point off and unfold the paper.

The result is a paper template with a small hole in the exact centre. Get a felt tip marker and jam it in the hole

Centre spotting really is easy, but dont do it until you have collimation tools.
