I have been unable to find a good method to recreate this pen cap. The solution that comes to mind is using a plane with sub-division and using shrink wrap to project it onto the dome>solidify>bool. This is clearly a bad way to do this if there is a better way please share it. Thanks in advance

Here is the image of the object pen cap

You could begin with a plane and draw the same shape:

Then give it an Array modifier (with a Count of 4) and a Simple Deform (Bend mode, 360°):

Move the horizontal edges in order to reduce the top:

Inset the shape and move it inwards:
