But I did know this before getting him. Just means I need a lot of patience lol.

A suggestion based on my experience with Mika when he was four months old. He, too, would sprint out of his x-pen when I opened the gate. One time he caught a paw in the short gap between the wires below the gate and cracked a toe. Luckily it wasn't a clean break that would've required surgery and months in a cast but he still wound up in a splint for a month.
I used a double layer of painter's tape to close the gap, nothing fancy, but it worked and he didn't eat it.
