Whittle the toothpick a smidgen with a razor blade or similar.

Metal scraping flimsy metal contacts that are nigh-unrepairable is a hard lesson. Unfortunately it is also one that I seem to need to re-learn on a consistent basis.

I think going gently with a metal needle might be safer? The metal contacts are springy and need a certain amount of force to bend.
