O-rings probably require a silicon-based grease, not regular cork-grease or lanolin. Alternatively, just lick the staple before you put it into the reed well. I would definitely steer clear of petroleum-based greases. such as lip-salve.

I would try leaving only the bottom O-ring, and wrapping the rest of the "cork" with teflon tape, as little or as much as your oboe needs. This should seal and provide the mechanical stability you need for playing.

I had a lot of experience with nissen tubes, and sucking the tube worked better than grease.
