The drawback to spikes?

$

Hi

I just started to play Blackberry Blossom from Ken Perlman's Melodic Clawhammer and it requires fretting the 5th string on the 7th fret.  Wondered why I was getting a buzzing sound and of course it turns out the installed spike actually gets in the way if you need to play there...

Is this reason why not to install them?  And what would you do instead?  Is there a mini capo or some such?

TIA

Adri
