I have been thinking if it may be possible to make a probe tip where
only a part of the circumference is conductive. You might need to
rotate the probe to reach the pin you want, but I don't think that
would be a big problem.
 
I found one hobby project where a probe tip was made from a piece of
single sided PCB. But copper tarnishes quickly, and glass fibers are
very abrasive.
 
I have not been able to figure out a way to fabricate a useful
prototype.

It’s simple to functionally reproduce the Tek “SureToe” probe holders by
putting a dab of JBWeld putty on the pins and poking the probe through.
Grease it up first!
