If there’s no way to make a dowel work, museum wax or something similar might create enough stability that they won’t tip.

As a conservator I would not use wood, which can contain acids that can corrode metals and damage other materials. I suggest making round supports from plexi tubes with square bases for mounting to the exhibit platform.
