Contact Jerry Cleave here. He makes Pope style and may be able to make a spare rod for your Distant Thunder tool if you send him the tool or a rod to copy from. 
Another option is a sleeve that can slip over a smaller rod to make it work with the larger caliber. Like this set Jerry made for me:

I have an brand new unused .38 cal rod for Jim's O'Hare Tool decapper that I've never used.  I use a .40 cal rod for both .40 and .45 decapping so the .38 should also work for .40 caliber.  I'll sell it for $20 shipped.  PM me.  Thanks.
