Is there a better fix for this or just something I'll have to live
with...bending the prongs on all my cords.

Thanks,

One other option: You can get a 6-outlet adaptor that plugs into a dual
outlet. You remove the existing faceplate, plug in the outlet multiplier,
and afix the new outlet with the screw that formerly held the outlet's
faceplate.

Here's an example:

Doesn't really reduce the fire hazard much. Only removes the constant
flexing from cords getting tugged, or removed/inserted. The crappy
connection between the duplex and six-way (usually just 2 3-ways in same
shell) is still there, and now it can overheat without being extremely
obvious in seconds. I've smoked a six-way before.
