Really, one need not pick nits; whatever works, works! With a bit
larger nut and washer, you need not drill holes. You can connect to
the tape anywhere you want. A 75 foot (23 meter) tape measure could
be rolled out to 66 feet and the ground attached at the 33 foot (10
meter) point, for example, giving TWO radials.

You're thinking out of the box
If you can find a combat engineers measuring tape they are made out of
stainless steel.
They also tell how much TNT is needed to dismantle various things such as
bridge overheads that might be in the way of your mobile antenna.
