I've had great success with lost 50g feet by replacing them with thin plastic "bumpers". A photo of this is at the very bottom of this old article about how crummy HP 50g feet are.
Joe's "bumpers" seem the perfect solution. What I have done in the past (before being enlightened here) was to remove the offending pad, clean off all the glue, apply a blob of hot-melt glue in its place, and quickly set the instrument down on a flat non-stick (wet or oily) surface. That produces a nice shock-absorbing pad which is absolutely permanent.
