What do you have, freaking gorilla fingers?
Anybody with normal sized fingers, that is not dexteriously challenged, is able to use deans plugs without gripping the wires. With a minimal amount of care, let alone an easy to do double shrinkwrapping (they give you enough pieces to accomplish it), the heat shrink has no reason to short out via a nick - and even when nicked, unless you're really dumb or trying to short the battery pack it's still almost entirely impossible to short them out.... oh, and by the way, plenty of guys use them without incident with no heatshrink at all.
