Horse,

Try putting small pieces of cork on the exposed hook points - or mold some blue tack over the points - that will not damage the hook when you take it off.

Kind regards

Strip some of the plastic insulation from some wire cut it into wee bits and slide it over the offending points,or so it gently,practice makes perfest.
