I would prefer to just dig out the weeds one by one but these are tough
weeds with long fat roots. Every time I pull one I also uproot the fragile
new grass planted along with it. New grass will never win out against
these fat bullies.
I was hoping for something to carefully inject into each one to kill only
that weed and give the new grass a fighting chance. Suggestions?

For tough weeds as you describe, I have used Roundup with great success.
If it is in or too close to desirable grass/plants to spray it, just
put some Roundup in a cup and brush it on the weed you want to get rid
of. Some weeds, esp. those with waxy leaves, may require more than one
application but I haven't found a weed that Roundup won't kill.
