DI seals aren't *that* fragile, they'll survive one R&R. Clean the tips with intake cleaner, give it a drop of oil and sliiiide it back in. See if issue follows, if it does, order one injector and one seal kit, if it doesn't two seal kits to close it back up for good.

Your experience with DI's is different that mine (and others on this forum). My injectors would not just slide in. I had to freeze and lube them then push them in by tightening them down with the fuel rail bolts.
I watched videos of other car's DI and indeed, they appeared to slide in with finger pressure but ours won't.
I like your technique of "shrinking" the seal. I'll try that, if I ever have to deal with those b***ches again.
