Get a different set of grips.
You could try a dab of silicone sealant.
You wanna put what in your butt hole?
Ball bearing. Take it out with a magnet. Also works on a stem as a security option.
Heat glue gun might work too.
Wax might be a clean option.
I’d use a pliable wax earplug

How permanent do you want the solution?
Hexlox?
See if someone on r/3Dprinting would help with this.
Permanent? Epoxy.
Less Permanent? Silicone.
