I'm guessing you'll have to do trial and error. Toothpicks are inexpensive so it shouldnt' be a problem. Just start out really small and work your way up until you're satisfied with how they work.. (oh, and cut the sharp end off.. you don't want to be puncturing anything. )

Looks like some serious damage... You may want to start with a new set... The switches don't look too good anymore...

Thumb tacks may work too if small enough, i think that was in the article as well. I haven't taken mine apart yet,because i don't wanna deal with the headaches..
