Use a Suunto SK5 or SK6 compass. They have a small slot in the side for putting
the standard strap through but you can remove the bottom section via 4 screws
and place the bungee straps in the slot before you screw the base back on. The
bungee will then be held captive by the slot and the pressure but will have
some relief.

i am using an Ikelite compass. i removed the "back", took the strap out
and layed a piece of thin surgical tubing where the strap had been.
Press the back down, replace the screws and voila ... it certainly is
not attractive but it works (so far) ... i am curious if anyone else 
has done something similar and experienced a problem.
