There's what's called a barrel screw down the center of the knob. Hopefully it's not too worn out that you can still turn it with a jeweler's screwdriver.

Go to Ace, Home Depot etc and get the jewelers screw driver set. CAUTION !!!   Once you use the screwdriver and get the screw loosend enough to pull the knob off, be VERY careful about pulling the screw driver out of the knob and losing the very small screw.

Absolutely right about the losing the screw. I put some tape around both ends of the knob because it seems no matter where you put it, it always seems to roll around on you.

Yes, and if the threaded portion of the stem is still there you only need a knob & barrel nut... Unfortunately it's not uncommon for the threaded area to be broken off.... Hope that isn't the case...
