It felt like it was in there fine to me, but maybe not.
I have a socket and extension I keep by the printer which fits the nozzle. That way I can screw it in by hand while hot, still easily feel if something is binding, and I don't even have to burn off my fingertips.
Good idea, I'll give that a go.
maybe it's hotend upgrade time then
Been there before. Thankfully, replacement blocks are pretty cheap.

Did the same with Trianglelab Dragon. Damaged the heatbreak as well when disassembling the hotend. Now I own a 1.8Nm torque wrench..
