Only three things I can think of:

1- Add a gasket to the cap

2- Try another NEW SERVICE cap

3- If the above does not solve it, have the filler neck replaced by a radiator shop

A tip for next time- spray the cap gaskets and mating surface with silicone to help it twist together without galling.

And as Joe mentioned, avoid excessive force on the neck. If the neck has a bend, I place a hand under it while twisting and pushing the cap.
