Craig's workaround worked indeed for me too,

i used sudo jockey-text -d xorg:nvidia_experimental_304 to disable 304 which was active for me
then I also uninstalled nvidia-settings-experimental-304 as it complains that a file of this is in use
and sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings-experimental-310 ran fine afterwards

Jockey does show 310 as in use for me

sudo jockey-text --list
