hot glue for such matters, but I don't think I'd be able to desolder
the wires later without using a lot of force to remove the hot glue

Hot glue will soften when heated with a (controlled) heat gun, before
the electronics get damaged. Wires can easily be removed then.
Just experiment a bit on some old PCB.

And, use only enough to hold the wire, not so much that it is hard to
remove.
