I would try something like squeezing the strap in a ziptie or three to compress it.

i left out some parts; i got one strap through the slots (needle-nose pliers and elbow-grease) but it did a number on the split-leather finish on my straps, and made 'em a pita to adjust, so i took it back out,

I had the same trouble with my EAI single straps and MKS sylvan's. One of my straps is wrinkled, and the other looks fine, after I figured out the proper amount of Doc Marten's shoe polish and elbow grease. No wonder why people go clipless....
