Stick with the EC5s, it may be worth plugging them in and removing them loads of times as they will free up over time.
I'm not sure how much of the tightness is the blue sleeves, and how much the connector itself, I'd considered greasing the blue sleeves but obviously don't want them disconnecting themselves!!

My second problem is the undoing of the 3 Velcro straps, looking into improvements there too!
