Actually, if you take a blown fuse apart, i.e. remove the metal caps from the
ends, you'll see that there's a hole through which the fuse wire is passed
before soldering it in place.  You could do the same thing.  I'd recommend
some finer wire than #30, however.

  Why not loops of wirewrap wire? At 30AWG, they
don't take much to blow
 and it would not be too hard to see. Plus 3/4 inch of wire is
 cheap and
 replaceable. 
 It would be a lot more trouble to get the wire in and out. :)  Otherwise
 it's an interesting idea.
