Adding o-rings would be the easiest.

Go to a hardware store with a yoyo and test it out for yourself.

I thin Harbor Freight sells these O-ring assortments. I saw a video on YouTube talking about a non-permanent mod of this nature to a DM2. I think the basic concept is nearly the same, but the more important thing is the product the guy mentioned. It wasn’t all that much.

Have fun!

A trip to the local hardware store is all that’s needed. Fat (3/16 in. thickness) o-rings are a stock item.
