      I'd avoid the clamp, if I were you.

      Just use a thin 5-10 minute Krazy glue. Put a very thin line right on the edge of the marker where it's loose. A thin glue will fill the underside of the marker route (a process known as wicking). Hold the marker down for a minute or so, and you should be good. Use the edge of a razor blade to shave off any excess glue, and use a piece or 1000 or 1500 sand paper to buff the wood/marker transition, and you're done.
