I think they are usually destroyed in removal, perhaps you could get a complete gear lever, with a worn gearknob, you could get that covered then replace yours.

I've no idea re Omegas, but the gaiter on my manual Astra has a cable/zip tie holding it to the gear lever.  :-/ :-/ To remove the gaiter is just a case of inverting it and cutting the tie.

Sorry! I misunderstood you. I thought you wanted the knob off to remove the gaiter.  :)
